Hi @terrybless,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

It sounds like you've tried some basic troubleshooting steps already. Since the issue persists, here are some additional steps you can take.

• Check Ink Cartridges: Make sure all ink cartridges are properly installed and seated correctly. Sometimes, an improperly installed cartridge can trigger this error message.
• Clean Printhead: The printhead might be clogged. Many HP printers have a built-in tool to clean the printhead. You can usually find this option in the printer's settings menu.
• Update Firmware: Ensure your printer has the latest firmware installed. Sometimes, firmware updates address issues like this.
• Inspect for Obstructions: Check for any paper jams or other obstructions inside the printer that may be causing the problem.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
