1. Make sure your HP Officejet 6100 is turned on. You can check by looking to see if the power light is on.
2. Take out any documents that are present in the input or output tray.
3. Unplug the power cord from the back of the printer while it is still turned on.
4. Unplug the other end of the cord from the wall outlet. Leave it unplugged for about 60 seconds.
5. Plug the cord back into the wall outlet first, and next into the back of the printer. This should cause the printer to turn back on. If not, manually turn it on.
6. Wait until the printer goes into its warm-up phase and it goes into an idle state before you try to use it again.
Please remember that clearing any ink system failures might require a hard reset which involves draining all electricity from the system. These steps are slightly more advanced and you may wish to contact HP support for help.
P.S: Always consult with your user manual or contact HP support to avoid any damages while performing these tasks.

There could be various reasons why your HP Officejet 6100 is not printing. Here are a few possible solutions:
1. Check for paper jams: Make sure there are no paper jams or obstructions in the printer. Open the printer cover and remove any stuck paper if necessary.
2. Check ink levels: Ensure that there is enough ink in the cartridges. Replace any empty or low ink cartridges to allow for printing.
3. Check connections: Verify that the printer is properly connected to the computer or network. Make sure the USB cable is securely plugged in or check the wireless connection.
4. Restart printer and computer: Sometimes, restarting both the printer and the computer can resolve any temporary issues. Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, wait for a few minutes, and then plug it back in. Similarly, restart your computer.
5. Update printer drivers: Outdated or incompatible printer drivers can cause printing problems. Visit the official HP website, search for your printer model, and download the latest drivers and software.
6. Clear print queue: If there are any stuck print jobs in the print queue, they might be preventing new print jobs from going through. Open the print queue on your computer and cancel or delete any pending print jobs.
7. Troubleshoot printer: Many printers have built-in troubleshooting tools. Check the printer's manual or online documentation for specific instructions on how to troubleshoot your model.
If none of the above solutions work, it might be worth contacting HP support or a technician for further assistance.
