Hi @stephsdad1967

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I understand you are not able to print due to an error code. I'd be happy to assist you.

 

Let us try these steps to resolve this issue: 

 

Reset the printer

  1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
  2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
  3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
  4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
  5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.

 

Check for any jams inside the printer and make sure the print carriage is moving freely.

Perform the steps mentioned in this document.

 

For more info on resolving 0x errors, kindly refer to this document.

 

If the issue persists, please reach out to the HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer. 

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hi @JenLynn

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

If you have tried the steps mentioned in my post and the issue persists, I'm afraid it could be a hardware issue with the printer.

I have sent you a private message with the details to contact the Hp Support team. Kindly check the same.

 

Keep me posted for any other assistance.
