Hi @fayizt01,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Try these steps:
Power Reset:
- Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord from the printer and the wall outlet.
- Wait for at least 60 seconds before plugging it back in and turning the printer on. This can sometimes resolve error states.
Check Ink Levels and Cartridges:
- Ensure that all ink tanks are filled to the appropriate levels and that no inks are running low.
- Reinsert the ink cartridges to make sure they are seated properly.
Paper Jam or Blockage:
- Open the printer to ensure there are no paper jams or any foreign objects inside.
- Remove any jammed paper carefully, using both hands to avoid tearing.
Firmware Update:
- Ensure that your printer's firmware is up-to-date by visiting the HP support website and downloading any available updates for your printer model.
Printhead Cleaning:
- Run a printhead cleaning cycle through the printer's maintenance menu to clear any blockages that might be causing the error.
Reset the Printer:
- If accessible, perform a factory reset through the printer’s control panel. Refer to the user manual for specific instructions on performing a reset.
HP Smart App Check:
- Use the HP Smart App to check for additional diagnostic options and troubleshoot the error.
