Error

[Govanator]

My printer won’t print. It gives me an error 59.C0 and says, turn off and turn back on. When I do this it still gives the error. It will not print. What can I do to fix it.

Hi @Govanator,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

That 59.C0 error is not an ink issue; it points to a mechanical problem involving the developer feed motor (or a motor control board inside the printer). Here’s how we can troubleshoot and resolve it together:

Step-by-Step HP Recommended Fix

1. Power Cycle & Toner Check

• Turn off the printer and unplug the power cord.
• Keep it unplugged for at least 30 seconds.
• Plug it back in and turn it on.
• If the error persists, proceed to the next step.
   

2. Remove All Toner Cartridges

• Open the toner cover and remove all cartridges.
• Turn the printer back on without any cartridges installed.
• Note: If the error disappears, the issue may be cartridge-related. If it persists, the problem is mechanical.
   

3. Reinstall Cartridges One at a Time

• With the printer still on, insert one cartridge, closing the access door each time.
• Do this one by one: 
  • If the error reappears after installing a specific cartridge, that cartridge might be faulty.
  • If the error stays even with only one cartridge installed, the issue lies with the developer motor or control mechanics.
     

4. Update Firmware

• Go to the Official HP® Support.
• Download the latest firmware and install it; this can help clear mechanical error reports.
   

5. Factory Reset (Deeper Reset)

• Press and hold Cancel + Wireless buttons (or appropriate key combo for your model) for 20 seconds.
• This resets printer internals and may clear lingering errors.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
