Hello everyone,
recently I have an error on my HP Laser Jet MFP M140w printer. The error is as follows: "
The printer cannot print
A problem has occurred. You will not be able to print until the problem is resolved.
Log in to your HP account from the home screen to check the status.
"
When I log into my account I don't see any error and the system doesn't suggest any action. Can anyone help me solve this problem?
