This video is for the C7280, but the instructions are supposed to be true for the 8250. Usually that message when you have paper means that the rollers in the printer are slick and not picking up paper. The video shows how to fix that.

Used HP's chat, they helped walk me through it. NO CHARGE! You push the 'on' button for 45 seconds after you disconnect all the cables. Plug in the power cable only. Then print a test page. If that works, plug in the USB. Should fix the problem. I'd recommend working with HP, as they can check the internals on your machine while you chat with them.

HI,

That's mean printer is working fine, Download HP Printing Diagnostic Utility and run. Find out the errors which appear after run Diagnostic Utility.

If you still facing then try to updete printer driver or software.

If you've unplugged the printer and restarted the PC, you may have to uninstall the driver and reinstall it.

I had same problem, and i solved it.
I opened my hp 8250 and removed it`s battery. It is located on left side of the printer, on the main board. You need to remove plastic covers , and then remove 3 screws holding board. You can move board just enough to get damn battery out of there. Now it works perfect!
I can send you some piccs if you need help.

first download the software/drivers for the printer from the link below.

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=2093&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=uk&lang=en&product=443024

second sign in as administrator or your account may have those privledges already. during the install if there is a spot make sure that the printer is available to all users.

any other issues or it's still not working please leave a comment here ... i'll sort it out or someone more knowledgable then myself will.

One thing you may know off hand but might not have been asked. Is that a 64 bit operating system by chance... also designated as x64.
