I have just connected an HP 3380 Laserjet Printer to my new Windows 8.1 computer. However, I am having problems printing. Whenever the machine is switched on, the display reads SCANNER BULB WARMING UP and then after about two minutes the display reads SCANNER ERROR POWER ON POWER OFF. This happens all the time.
On the odd occasion, however, the display reads READY but, when I try to print, it says CANNOT PRINT : PRINTER IN ERROR STATE. I have been on the HP website and tried everything stated there for this type of problem, even re-installing the drivers and updating the firmware but to no avail. What could be the problem or am I doing something wrong? Can someone please advise. Thanks.
