Generally, HP Printer Tech Support is very reliable, even in the most demanding environments, HP printers are also still problematic, from time to time.

Cables not connected properly

The printer should have connected to cables to it and the power cable and the data cable. Make sure that the power and data cables are connected (parallel or USB cable) to the printer and computer.
