Welcome to the HP Forums Panjwani,
I see by your post that you are getting a 52.0 scanner error with a single function Laserjet P1102w printer.
I can help you with this issue.
Power cycle the printer.
Is the printer set as the default printer? Change your default printer.
Do you have any other printer's installed on the computer?
Update the printer's firmware and download the newest drivers.
HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer Drivers.
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Wireless)
If you need further assistance, let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Hello,
I see that the firmware update didn't resolve the 52 Scanner Error.
The 52 Scanner error indicates that the printer has experienced an internal hardware error.
Turn the product power off, wait at least 30 seconds, and then turn the product power on and wait for it to initialize.
If you are using a surge protector, remove it. Plug the product directly into the wall socket. Turn the product on.
If the issue persists, keep the printer turned Off for 3 mins and turn it back ON.
If the issue continues, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836 for further assistance. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

My printer is HP Laserjet M1212nf MFP. I was very nervous about these instructions but when the 52.0 Scanner error wasn't going away, I decided to dismantle the printer by opening the screws; 4 on top, 2 hidden upside down the cover, and 2 others behind - a little over the scanner glass.
And then I opened, I blew air from the mouth, cleaned around with a shaving spirit with a smooth towel, and used my bio oil (Cosmetic) to wet the [cogs, gears and the scanner teeth). I was inspired by this youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAx2RZWmY_c and also this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGLYd1OeEyI
Be very careful because of the dramatic way the cover jumps up when you that button is pressed.
It worked perfectly aftrer. I can't believe that techie guy wanted all that money to repair it.
I answered this from another forum and I wanted people to know that 52.0 error comes about because of lack of lubrication!
