The printer shuts down unexpectedly
Check the power and power connections
Make sure the printer's power cord is connected firmly to a functioning power outlet. For voltage requirements, see Electrical specifications.
The printer is making some unexpected noises
You might hear some unexpected noises made by the printer. These are the servicing sounds when the printer performs automatic servicing functions to maintain the health of the printheads.
NOTE: To prevent any potential damage to your printer:
Do not turn off the printer while the printer is performing any servicing. If you are turning off the printer, wait for the printer to come to a complete stop before turning
off using the 
(Power) button. For more information, see Turn off the printer.
Make sure all ink cartridges are installed. If any of the ink cartridge is missing, the printer will perform extra servicing to protect the printheads.
Alignment fails
If the alignment process fails, make sure you have loaded unused, plain white paper into the input tray. If you have colored paper loaded in the input tray when you align the ink cartridges, the alignment fails.
If the alignment process fails repeatedly, you may need to clean the printhead, or you might have a defective sensor. To clean the printhead, see Clean the printhead.
If cleaning the printhead does not solve the problem, contact HP support. Go to www.hp.com/go/customercare. This website provides information and utilities that can help you correct many common printer problems. If prompted, select your country/region, and then click Contact HP for information on calling for technical support.

Check the printer setup
For more information, see General troubleshooting tips and resources.
Check the HP software installation
