It sounds like your HP OfficeJet Pro 6230 is stuck in an error state. Here are some steps to troubleshoot the issue:

Step 1: Perform a Power Reset

1. With the printer turned on, unplug the power cord from the back of the printer.
2. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
3. Wait for at least 60 seconds.
4. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet and then into the printer.
5. Turn on the printer and check if the issue persists.

Step 2: Check for Paper Jams or Obstructions

1. Open the printer and inspect for any paper jams or debris.
2. Ensure the print carriage can move freely. If it’s stuck, gently move it to the center.

Step 3: Reset the Printer

1. Disconnect the power cord while the printer is on.
2. Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.
3. Reconnect the power cord and turn the printer back on.
