Hi @AnthonyA210,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
To correct a "Device Error Detected" message on an HP Envy 7800 printer, you can try the following troubleshooting steps.
- Restart the Printer: Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, and wait for a few minutes before plugging it back in and turning it on again. Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary issues.
- Check Connections: Ensure that all cables connecting the printer to the computer or network are securely plugged in. Also, verify that the power cable is firmly connected to both the printer and the power outlet.
- Update Firmware: Visit the HP website and check if there are any firmware updates available for your printer model. If there are updates, download and install them according to the instructions provided.
- Reset Printer: You can try resetting the printer to its factory default settings. Refer to the printer's user manual or HP's support website for instructions on how to perform a reset.
- Clear Paper Jams: Check for any paper jams or obstructions inside the printer. Clear any paper jams carefully, following the instructions in the printer's manual.
- Check Ink/Toner Cartridges: Ensure that the ink or toner cartridges are properly installed and have sufficient ink or toner levels. Replace any empty or low cartridges with new ones.
- Update Printer Drivers: Make sure that the printer drivers installed on your computer are up-to-date. You can download the latest drivers from the HP website and install them on your computer.
- Run Printer Diagnostic Tools: HP provides diagnostic tools that can help identify and resolve issues with their printers. You can download and run these tools from the HP website to diagnose any hardware or software problems with your printer.
By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the "Device Error Detected" message on your HP Envy 7800 printer.
I hope this helps.
