In this article, we will discuss solutions to the HP printer validation error.
Why the HP Printer Validation Error Occurs
The HP printer validation error occurs because of an obstruction in your HP printer’s carriage. As a result of the obstruction, the carriage cannot move freely.
The carriage is responsible for holding the printer’s ink cartridges and moving them to and fro during the ink transfer process to the loaded paper.
A grinding noise is a sign that the carriage of your printer is obstructed by foreign material such as jammed paper.
