Did you recently sign up for a subscription service like HP Instant Ink? Some “plus” printers require a subscription to work, even if you’re using genuine HP ink cartridges. If you’re having trouble printing, this might be the cause.
To get more details about the issue, you can often find helpful information through the printer’s Embedded Web Server (EWS). This online interface allows you to see your printer’s status and diagnose problems. To access it, follow the instructions in this guide: Use the HP Printer Embedded Web Server (EWS). It’s a simple process that can give you more insight into what’s wrong.
If that doesn’t solve the issue, consider asking for help from Microsoft’s Copilot. Be sure to specify your printer model—whether it’s a LaserJet, OfficeJet, or DeskJet—since some models share similar names but have different features. Copilot can offer helpful solutions, including videos, which might be more effective than written manuals. It has access to the latest features and troubleshooting tips, making it a good resource especially if your HP manual is outdated.
YouTube is also a great place to find support videos from HP. Their official support channel offers tutorials on common issues like unboxing, cleaning printheads, or setting up Wi-Fi. Many videos are available in different languages. Just go to HP Support YouTube Channel and enter your specific printer model to find relevant videos.
If you’re using Windows 10 or 11, you can also try asking Microsoft’s Copilot for instructions. It can guide you through troubleshooting steps and might show you helpful videos.
Let me know what you discover during your troubleshooting process. Hopefully, these tips will help you get your printer back up and running smoothly.
