General troubleshooting tips and resources

www.hp.com/go/
customercare). This website provides information and utilities that can help you
correct many common printer problems.

Try turning the printer off and then on again.
For a paper jam, see
Clear jams.

takes approximately 12 minutes to initialize it after the ink cartridges are installed.

Make sure the printer is connected firmly to a functioning alternating current (AC)
power outlet, and is turned on. For voltage requirements, see
Electrical
specifications.
Media is loaded correctly in the input tray and is not jammed in the printer.
All packing tapes and materials are removed.
The printer is set as the current or default printer. For Windows, set it as the default
in the Printers folder. For Mac OS X, set it as the default in the Print & Fax or Print
& Scan section of the System Preferences. For more information, see your
computer's documentation.
