If your HP printer is working—powered on, connected, and responding—but not printing, several factors could be responsible. A common reason is low or empty ink or toner cartridges. Even if the printer doesn't display an alert, ink levels might be too low to print. Clogged print heads can also prevent ink from reaching the page, especially if the printer hasn’t been used recently. Running the printer’s built-in cleaning utility may help.
Another possibility is a stalled print queue. Go to your printer settings and clear any pending print jobs, then restart both the printer and your computer. Make sure the correct printer is selected as default and check if your printer driver is up to date. Outdated or corrupt drivers can block communication between your computer and the printer.
Connectivity problems—whether USB or wireless—can also cause this issue. Ensure the printer is connected properly and on the same network as your computer. Try restarting your router or reconnecting the printer.
