By "not printing" i'm assuming you mean from the computer. Look at the back of the printer where the network cable plugs into the formatter. You should see a green light. If you don't try a different cable. No light means that the printer isn't talking to the computer. You could have a bad network card or connection. If you are using a USB cable, make sure it is seated correctly.
Return the cartridge and use only genuine supplies with HP. HP cartridges have chips on them that dictate if they are OEM or not. Typically, if you use a refiller , these chips won't get reset.

It seems simple enough, but this is one of the most effective ways of fixing printer cartridge error. Mostly, printer cartridge error occurs when the printer head is unable to identify the cartridge properly. And the basic reason behind this is that the cartridge is improperly attached.
To reattach the cartridge check the following steps :
Turn on the lid of the printer and then remove the cartridge from the printer head.
Check the cartridge to make sure that there are no scratches or other damaged parts that can contribute to a printer cartridge error report.
Take note that the cartridge should not be left open for more than 30 minutes; otherwise the ink will start to dry up and the cartridge will get clogged.

It mainly happens when more than one sheet are attached with each other or when the paper trays are not set properly. To handle this issue, reload the trays with appropriate paper size followed by front and back tabs. For all the trays verify that correct paper size adjustments have been done. Now enable the jam recovery button and press the button 'GO' to print your document.

Print a printer self-test by holding the power button down with a pencil and opening and closing the top cover four times. Check the nozzle self-test pattern in the self-test print out.

dear sir,kindly follow the below instructions Instructions
Ensure that all cables are securely connected. First, make sure that the printer cable connecting your computer to your printer is connected securely. Then, make sure that the power cord is inserted into a wall outlet. Try your print job again after you have ensured that all cables are properly connected.
Clear a paper jam if your printer is not responding or you are receiving a "Paper Jam" error message on your printer. To clear a jam, first open the rear output door by pushing down on the two levers on each side of the door. Opening the rear door simply makes it easier to clear a jam. Open the top cover on the front of the printer by pressing the release button on the right side of the printer. Locate the paper jam and use two hands to gently remove the paper jam. Try your print, scan, fax or copy job again.
Clear stored or saved faxes if you are having trouble sending or receiving faxes. Old faxes may be stuck in the fax queue, which may be causing the printer to not respond. To remove stored faxes, press the "Menu" button on the printer and select "Fax Functions." Then select "Clear Saved Faxes." Wait for the queue to clear and try your fax job again.
Remove paper from the automatic document feeder (ADF) input tray if your scan job is coming out crooked. The ADF input tray can only hold up to 50 sheets at a time. If there are more than 50 sheets in the input tray, the output may appear skewed. Try your scan job again after removing the paper.
Adjust your computer monitor's display settings if your scanned image is not an accurate representation of the original image. This can be done in the "Control Panel" in Windows. Set the settings to the highest possible resolution and try your scan job again.
Perform a power cycle on your printer if the previous steps were unsuccessful. To do this, turn off your printer, then unplug it from the wall. Wait a few minutes and plug the printer back in. Try your print, scan, fax or copy job again.
Go to the printer panel and make sure the drum and toner carts don't show empty. Try removing and reseating the drum and the toner carts. Also, see if it will print a supplies status page from the printer interface. You can also try to hold the cancel button for 5 seconds to bypass the error. Let me know if you need further instructions.
The toner (not ink) cartridges in your printer have a security chip attached on the top at the right side. For the printer to work that chip must have a very good contact with the corresponding pins - first make sure that they are spotless.
You will also need to clean the the print head assembly. The print head contacts should be dusted free using a can of compressed air. It would be a good idea to clean the entire assembly if there is time as this could cause other printing problems. After using the compressed air, take a small lint free cloth with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol and wipe the contacts clean. If this doesn't fix it then either you ar using an non approved set of cartridges or the printer is defective - you will gonna have to call a repairman.
carousel that rotates the toner cartridges needs to be aligned
need to take printer to a printer repair shop or send it to me to get it fixed.
