Error Code 0X00829C98 Envy 5055

[EvelynZ]

I've found numerous posts with this exact problem, but none of them seemed to be resolved.

I just got a brand new Envy 5055 printer, and I can't even set it up. It doesn't connect wirelessly or with a USB printer cable, it's not detected by my computer no matter what I do and the printer itself just keeps flashing all lights with the message "ERROR CODE 0X00829C98 HW_WATCHDOG C" on the screen. I've tried all methods of unplugging and plugging back in, redownloading, reconnecting, trying to download drivers (which I can load onto the printer because my computer doesn't detect it). I have Windows 10 on an Aspire R Acer laptop. I am beyond frustrated. I just want to print!

Hi @EvelynZ

Try these steps -

1) Turn on the printer, if it is not already on. 
2) Wait until the printer is idle and silent.
3) With the printer turned on, unplug the power cord from the printer & wall. 
3) Wait for 60 seconds.  
4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not to a surge protector. 
5) Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
 

Also, try updating the printer's firmware. Refer to this document for steps - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware

I have received this error code.  I was scanning documents when the scanner bar stopped moving it was frozen.  I unplugged it from the wall and let it sit.  When I plugged it back in the scanner bar is going crazy, it goes like it’s scanning but really fast, basically slamming from one side to another, no scan light.  Then the error code comes up and I can’t do anything else with the printer

@Butterscotch72, Welcome to HP Support Community!

Try connecting the printer to a different wall outlet and see if that helps. And, when there is no scan light while the scanner bar moves it is clearly a sign of scanner failure.

Solution to unplug power cord from wall and printer worked for me. Printer is back online.

Thanks,

I am having the same issue! I’ve tried unplugging then plugging back in. I’ve also tried a different outlet with no luck. What other options can I try?

I have a HP Envy 5055 printer that has an error code of OXOO829C98. I cannot turn the machine off, I've looked in

the machine and do not see a paper jam. What now?

@GJ2314, Welcome to HP Support Community!

If you have already performed the steps from the document '0xc19a0005' or Similar Error Code Displays and the issue persists, it could be a hardware failure.

Please reach out to the HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer.

Hope this helps!
