No error messages on the printer. I used the HP print and scan doctor and it reccomed to unstiall and reinstall the software. I did this and it is still not working. I also checked the firewall and unplugged and pulgged our router and printer. Still not working. In addtion I turned on file sharing with printer. still not working. Moreover HP mentioned about a "third party" issue my printer is on the affected list. I tryed get thge lastest update but it was not there. My printer is olny 1 year and 4 Months Old.

Welcome to HP Forums,
This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips,
Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂
As I understand, your printer is not printing and gives an error message "Attention required"
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:
When was the last time it worked fine?
Were there any hardware/software changes made?
Are you able to print from a different PC?
Are you able to scan or make a photocopy?
Let's try these steps mentioned in the article: https://support.hp.com/bg-en/document/c00113719 (Although the topic of the document is different from your issue we could still try these steps)
Step 2: Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor
Step 3: Clear the print queue
Step 4: Reset the printer and the computer
Step 5: Use a printing troubleshooting tool (Windows 7 and later)
Step 6: Create a manual connection (network connections only)
Step 7: Add a second printer device to Windows (network connections only)
Let me know how this goes,
Cheers!
