For HP printer helpline support, you can contact the HP home customer support phone number at **888-999-4747**, available 7 days a week from 9 am to 12 am EST. This line handles sales and general support including printing issues[1]. For technical support specifically, the dedicated HP technical support number is **800-474-6836**, which is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week[4].

If you are a business customer, the sales and support number is **866-625-0242**, available Monday to Friday, 8 am to 8:30 pm EST[1]. For customers outside the US, such as in Australia, local support numbers apply (e.g., 1300 921 910 for home customers)[2].

In practical terms, when calling:

– For printer technical issues, choose the technical support option (press 1 if prompted)[4].
– For printer sales or Instant Ink program questions, call the home customer number[1].
– You can also get help via HP Live Chat during business hours for quicker assistance[1][2].

If you experience complex issues where the printer shows as printing but nothing happens (as in print jobs that complete without output), it might require escalated technical support or guided troubleshooting from the HP support team[5].
