HP LaserJet MFP M140we Printer
Microsoft Windows 11

My print is blocked from printing, there is a flashing exclamation mark sign under WIFI icon.

 

I suspect that the reason is this message: "Check your account. A problem has occurred with your HP account and you will be unable to print very soon." 

 

I reset the printer to factory setting and back, I deleted the printer from the account and then added again.

 

Nothing works.
