Hi @Bubbles37,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

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

To troubleshoot this issue, you can consider the following general steps.

• Check the User Manual: The printer's user manual or documentation often provides a list of error codes along with their explanations and suggested solutions. Refer to the manual to find out what "Error Code 6" specifically indicates.
• Restart the Printer: Sometimes, errors can be caused by temporary glitches. Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, wait for a minute, and then plug it back in and turn it on again.
• Check for Paper Jams: An error code might indicate a paper jam or some obstruction within the printer. Open the printer's covers and look for any paper stuck inside. Gently remove any jammed paper.
• Check for Ink/Toner Issues: If your printer uses ink or toner cartridges, ensure they are properly installed and not empty. Replace any empty or low cartridges.
• Inspect Hardware Connections: Make sure all cables and connections to the printer are secure. A loose connection could trigger errors.
• Update Firmware/Drivers: If your printer has network connectivity, consider checking for firmware updates through the printer's settings. Also, ensure you have the latest printer drivers installed on your computer.
• Perform a Factory Reset: If other steps don't resolve the issue, you might consider performing a factory reset of the printer. This should be done cautiously, as it can reset settings and configurations.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
