HP ENVY Inspire 7955e All-in-One Printer

Printer is completely frozen, all lights flashing randomly and screen displays this error# only. Does not respond to powering off with power button, can only turn off by unplugging power supply. Have tried running diagnostic tool in HP Smart multiple times and done other basic troubleshooting, but each time I try to print it gives this error and freezes.

Hi @Kyle991,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

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

 

I see that you are facing an issue with your printer that has an error and freeze while printing.

Please follow the steps below to fix the issue.

 

A) Perform a power drain.

 

1) Take out the cartridges

2) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.

3) Press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds and release the power button, wait for about 30 seconds.

4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not into a surge protector.

5) Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

Remove the cartridges > Unplug the power cord > Wait for 30 seconds > Plug the power cord back in > Insert the cartridges

 

B) Kindly refer to the steps on this link to update the printer firmware and let me know if that resolves the issue.

 

C) If the issue still persists, refer to the steps on this link to restore factory defaults.
