Ways to fix -
Fix 1: Perform basic troubleshooting
You can do some troubleshooting at first when you find your HP printer stops working. You should check the status of the connection between your printer and your computer. Make sure your devices are properly connected with each other, and the network or the cable you use to connect these devices is normal.
You can also try restarting your HP printer. Turn it off completely and unplug the power cord, leave it for a couple of minutes, and then plug the cord back and power on the printer. See if your printer can print as normally as before.
Fix 2: Update or reinstall the printer driver
In many cases, the printer won't print issue comes from faulty drivers. You may need to update or reinstall the printer driver to fix your HP printer, not the printing issue.
One easy and credible way to deal with drivers is to use Driver Easy.
Driver Easy will automatically recognize your system and find the correct drivers for it. You don't need to know exactly what system your computer is running, you don't need to risk downloading and installing the wrong driver, and you don't need to worry about making a mistake when installing.
3. Click on the Update button next to your HP printer to download the latest and correct driver for this device. You can also hit Update All button at the bottom right to automatically update all outdated or missing drivers on your computer (this requires the Pro version - you will be prompted to upgrade when you click on Update All).
Apart from updating the driver, you can also use Driver Easy to uninstall the driver (also Pro required). This is helpful especially when you want to reinstall the driver of a device.
4. Open Driver Easy and select Tools.
5. Select Driver Uninstall and you will see a list of device drivers. Locate your HP printer driver and then click on the Uninstall button. The driver you select will be removed soon.
Fix 3: Set your printer as default
When you are trying to print something, your computer will automatically assign these printing tasks to the default printer unless you choose another one on purpose. So your HP printer won't do its job if you neither set it as the default printer nor select it as the printer to print.

Check the guides for the printer and make sure that the paper is positioned far enough inside the printer so that the printer can pick it up.
