    HP Printer Setup Troubleshooting Process

    When nothing gets processed while you try to print, probably the reason is your connectivity problem. Make sure that your device is connected correctly. If yes, ensure that the pages are in the right tray and there is no paper stuck inside the printer.

    If you passed the first troubleshoot process and still your printer is cancelling the print job, maybe you click a lot of times which results in system delay performance. Don’t worry, turn the printer off and on again to see if this can resolve your issue. Sometimes a simple restart can fix your problem.
