Hi @racquetguy,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

I understand your HP LaserJet MFP M234sdw prints only once, and then you need to power cycle it to print again. This is usually caused by printer communication or driver issues. Please try the following steps:

Update Printer Firmware

Visit the HP Support page for your model.

Download and install the latest firmware update.

Update / Reinstall Printer Drivers

Uninstall the current driver from Settings → Apps → HP.

Reinstall the latest driver from HP’s website or use HP Smart app.

Check Connection Type

If using Wi-Fi, try connecting via USB to see if the issue persists.

If USB works, the problem may be the Wi-Fi network or interference.

Reset Printer to Factory Defaults

From the printer’s control panel: Settings → Printer Maintenance → Restore Factory Defaults.

Reconfigure Wi-Fi or network connection afterward.

I hope this helps.
