First, you will want to make sure to perform a hard reset and when doing this step, please also ensure that you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet to ensure the printer is getting enough power to function properly. Also, check to make sure that thee encoder strip is properly in place.

If this changes nothing you will have to call HP Tech Support for your area and inquire about an in warranty replacement or an out of warranty upgrade.
