Hi, Mark.
I’m sorry that your printer stopped working. Your dismay comes as no surprise, considering this happened only five months after you’d purchased the device. I want to help you out of this dilemma, so I’ll provide some resources I hope will reach that end.
I can’t tell from your review what issue your printer faces or why it stopped working, so I recommend that you contact us directly at +1 800-474-6836 so we can help you assess what’s happening and find the best course of action. To expedite the process, I recommend gathering the following information before the call:
- Model number - Serial number - Your location - Case number (from any previous contact with HP support)
I'll also mention that HP printers have a one-year warranty from their purchase date that covers hardware as well as ink supplies, so if it comes to that, you might consider making use of it. You can verify the warranty using the following link: - support.hp.com/us-en/checkwarranty

Hello,
I'm sorry that you are not pleased with the printer so far. However, I'm hoping that we can make some adjustments to make it work better for you.
We recommend using Colorlok photo paper since it is designed to work well with our inks. It might help this problem, and there are steps in this on-line document that should help you get better print quality in general: support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05067448
For any further concerns, you can contact HP Support at: hp.com/contacthp
