Hi @nuwan1982,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

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

Error codes can sometimes be specific to the software or service you're using, and they may not always have widely known solutions. However, you can try some general troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue.

• Check Internet Connection: Ensure that your printer is connected to the internet and that the connection is stable. The error may be related to a network issue.
• Update HP Smart App: Make sure you are using the latest version of the HP Smart app. Check for updates on your device's app store and install any available updates.
• Restart the Printer: Turn off your printer, wait for a few seconds, and then turn it back on. This can sometimes resolve connectivity issues.
• Restart the Router: If the printer is connected to a wireless network, try restarting your router. This can help refresh the network connection.
• Clear Cache and Data (for Mobile Apps): If you're using the HP Smart app on a mobile device, try clearing the app's cache and data. This can resolve issues related to stored data.
• Reinstall HP Smart App: Uninstall the HP Smart app from your device and reinstall it. This can resolve any corrupted installation issues.
• Check HP Smart Server Status: Sometimes, the issue may be on the server side. Check the HP server status to see if there are any ongoing issues affecting the HP Smart service.
• Update Printer Firmware: Ensure that your printer has the latest firmware installed. Check the HP support website for your printer model and follow the instructions to update the firmware.
• Factory Reset (as a last resort): If none of the above steps work, you might consider performing a factory reset on your printer. Note that this will reset all settings on the printer, so make sure to consult your printer's manual for instructions on how to do this.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
