Issues with my HP printer...

Hey everyone, hope you're all having a fantastic start to the New Year! 🙂

So, I’ve been dealing with this annoying issue where my printer just refuses to cooperate lately... basically, whenever I try to print something or make a copy, it might manage one single page before it immediately throws a "No paper" error at me, even though the tray is clearly full... and scanning is completely out of the question because it feels like the command isn't even reaching my computer in the first place.
It’s an HP LaserJet that I picked up from a local big-box store a little over three years ago, and back then, it cost me well over a hundred bucks... so now I'm sitting here wondering if it's actually worth trying to fix, or if it's just reached the end of its lifespan... it’s a pretty hefty, bulky unit too, which makes it kind of a pain to lug around anywhere... should I just bite the bullet and grab a new one instead? I've been doing a bit of reading on various forums, and I did see some people complaining about how certain brands aren't reliable, but honestly, this one worked perfectly fine until just recently...
If anyone has any thoughts or advice, I'd really love to hear them! 😉

My cousin used this for quite a while and never ran into a single issue...
If I were you, I’d start by reinstalling the drivers.

My printer has been acting up for a while now. Basically, whenever I try to print or make a copy, it might manage one single page before immediately throwing a "No paper" error—even though there’s plenty of paper in the tray. As for scanning? Forget about it. It won't even recognize the command from my computer.
It's an HP LaserJet. I picked it up at a local shop just over three years ago for a bit more than a hundred bucks. So, what do you guys think? Is it even worth fixing, or has it reached the end of its life? It’s pretty heavy and bulky, so it's not exactly something I want to be lugging around... Should I just bite the bullet and buy a new one? I've done some reading on this forum and seen people complaining about how their printers are junk, but honestly, this one worked perfectly fine until recently.
I'd love to hear your thoughts! 😉

Take it to a repair shop. If it can be fixed for something reasonable $67 plus tax, then go for it. Otherwise, toss it. Just a heads-up though: newer models often have those annoying chips in the ink cartridges.

Basically, either fix it or trade it in for something higher quality and reliable. At least you can still use the old one as a scanner.
