You are welcome. If the printer was under warranty, HP would have replaced the unit as it is a hardware failure.

 

However, in this case, you may upgrade the printer if required.

 

Keep me posted for any other assistance. Happy to help!

@CCCRH3, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

 

I understand you are not able to make copies/scan and calibrate the printer. 

 

Reset the printer

  1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
  2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
  3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
  4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
  5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.

 

Check the scanner bar functionality

 

Perform a visual test of the scanner mechanism to see if it is jammed.

  1. Remove any original documents or photos from the scanner glass.
  2. Lift the scanner lid slightly, and then press the Copy button or icon.

If the scanner light does not move or moves halfway or is not lit, the scanner mechanism is likely jammed/broken. In this case, I've sent you a private message with further instructions to resolve this issue.
