I have issues with my printer giving error code B3DE3BEB. The printer won't do anything until I disconnect the power source and then plug it back in. In addition, there seems to be a problem with printing from my PC or my phone. I see it listed on our network, I select the proper printer (we have more than one) and even when it seems like it received the printer job it never prints.

Hi @anselliott,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Error code B3DE3BEB on HP printers often indicates a hardware or firmware issue. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem.
Power Cycle the Printer:
- Turn off the printer.
- Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the wall outlet.
- Wait for about 60 seconds.
- Reconnect the power cord to the printer and the wall outlet.
- Turn the printer back on.
Check for Firmware Updates:
- Visit the HP support website and check if there is a firmware update available for your printer model.
- Follow the instructions on the website to download and install the latest firmware.
Check Network Connection:
- Ensure your printer is properly connected to your network.
- Check the printer's IP address and make sure it matches the one listed on your PC or phone.
- Restart your router and the printer to refresh the network connection.
Reinstall Printer Drivers:
- On your PC, go to the Device Manager and uninstall the printer drivers.
- Visit the HP support website and download the latest drivers for your printer model.
- Install the new drivers and restart your PC.
Reset the Printer:
- Access the printer's control panel and navigate to the 'Settings' or 'Setup' menu.
- Look for an option to restore factory defaults or reset the printer.
- Confirm the reset and wait for the printer to restart.
Check for Paper Jams or Obstructions:
- Open the printer's access panels and check for any paper jams or obstructions.
- Clear any jams or debris and ensure there are no torn pieces of paper stuck inside.
Test with Different Devices:
- Try printing from another device (e.g., another PC, tablet, or phone) to see if the issue persists.
- If the printer works with other devices, the issue might be with your original device's configuration.
Use HP Print and Scan Doctor:
- Download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor utility from the HP website.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to diagnose and fix the problem.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
