normally you will need to let the printer know that you have preformed any maintenance on it by clearing the error count after such an error occurs and is fixed it is normally listed under general or service options on the printer menu but you may need to look through the users manual

hope this helps

Hello there
You may not see a paper jam.

This may work for you, it has worked for many here I given this advice so gave it a try it could work for you. Generally when this happens, something has fallen into the printer, or a piece of paper has been jammed in there.

First step, remove the ink cartridge, and turn the printer upside down and gently shake it, see if anything comes out.

If nothing goes, or you can't hear anything rattling around, get a piece of cardstock paper (60lb or heavier) and gently push this through the printer, to see if it will help push out what might be stuck in there.
And gave the rode that the ink slides on a good clean and maybe a bit oil on cloth and wipe the rod with it.

Please come back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one so I will keep on helping.
All The Best: Pineworks

Here is the link to the software and driver page for your printer:

Download and install the software located on this page.
If this does not solve the problem, you need to make sure your USB ports are enabled and/or installed correctly by checking in your system device manager.
Let me know if this solution does not work.
Best wishes,

Check the color cartridge.May it's clogged or empty.Try with another color cartridge.

Please see this forum thread and follow the instructions given there to resolve this problem...Apparantly you are not alone.
When you uninstall the software use the HP uninstaller as described in the advice from Raymond J. - Go to Start>All Programs>HP>uninstall.
Reboot your computer.
Then go here and download the full software and drivers for your printer.
Reinstall. That should take care of it.

Have you tried cleaning the document feeders Scan Glass? (small glass under doc feeder ~ 1" by 9") Most times there is dirt spot on this glass, causing a shadow on scans and copies.
Try copying from the large glass by lifting doc feeder / platen cover and manually placing original. If no line copying or scanning manually from large glass, then small scan glass is deffenitely the culprit. Hope this helps.

clean your scan glass (thin strip of glass running from front to back, underneath document feeder) with a soft cloth and alcohol.

You need to have "Scan" on your printer.
Insert what you want scanned where you would photo-copy and push "scan". Follow your prompts on screen.
