Hi,

That issue could be a problem with the ink cartridges, we do have a work around for this matter but if these steps failed, you really need to contact HP Total care for them to service your printer. So, here how it goes.

- Please unplug the USB cable from the back of your printer, do this while the printer is on.
- Next, Remove the ink cartridges and the printhead from your printer and wait for the prompt that says "insert cartridges",
- Then, Unplug the power cable or the power cord from the back of your printer or from the power point and wait for 60 seconds.
- After that, plug the cable back in to the printer and if the printer doesn't turn on automatically, please turn it on manually.
- Now, re-insert the cartridges and the printhead.
- If the printer will ask you to print a calibration page, please do it.
- Lastly, reconnect the usb cable of the printer to your computer and try to print a document from your computer.

That's it! Cheers!

Will not print
Normal 0 Normal 0 Driver could be corrupt.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and reinstall the CD software program that came with the printer. When the software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud
