I have a HP psc 2410 all in 1: Switched fuse box off for other issue, forgot that I had not switched the printer off first, when I went to use the printer the egg timer was on printer display.

Cannot do anything with it, unplugged both usb and mains, left for a while, plugged back in, printer starts as normal but about 5-10 seconds in starts making noise of what sound likes cogs, clicking noise. At the end of this the egg timer is still up.

I have had this issue before and resolved it but cannot find the notes I made, I would be grateful if someone could advise as I am loathed to pay someone at HP for this issue considering I have only ever had this problem with HP printers.

This was resolved by turning the printer off using the printer power button, turn it on, let it go through its cycle of clunking, when it had finished turn the printer off again. Leave for 5 mins then turn back on, everything is fine now.
