Hi @TeresaLR,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

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

I understand your HP OfficeJet Pro 8740 is experiencing a hardware issue that might require a partial reset. Here’s a step-by-step guide you can follow to attempt a partial reset:

Power Cycle the Printer:

• Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
• Wait for about 60 seconds.
• Plug the printer back in and turn it on.

Perform a Partial Reset:

• On the printer’s control panel, navigate to Setup (the gear icon).
• Select Printer Maintenance or Tools.
• Choose Restore Defaults or Reset (this might be labeled differently depending on the model).
• Confirm the reset when prompted.

Check for Firmware Updates: Update the firmware on an HP printer

• Even though you mentioned that the printer does not need updates, it’s worth verifying if there are any recent firmware updates available. Sometimes, firmware updates can resolve error codes.
