I have an HP Envy 5055 multi-function printer.  Apparently, the scan feature "shuts off" if printer ink runs low [Personal Information Removed].  Anyone know how to get the scanner to work again after replacing ink cartridges?  YouTube suggested re-booting the printer by unplugging and replugging, but this didn't work.  TIA

Please perform the below steps and let me know

1) Turn off the Router, Printer, and the computer/ mobile devices.

3) Turn on the Router first and wait for all the lights to stabilize. 

4) Take out the cartridges. 

5) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.
