Hi @Norb6,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I'd like to help!

 

I understand you are receiving a "00829C98" error on the printer screen.

 

We can perform a factory defaults on the printer to resolve the issue

 

 Reset the product

  • With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
  • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Wait at least 60 seconds.
  • Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
  • Reconnect the power cord to the printer.
  • Turn the printer on. HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

 

 To restore the printer to the original factory defaults

 

1. On the printer control panel display, from the Home screen, swipe left to see ( Setup ) and touch ( Setup ).

2. Touch Tools, touch Restore Factory Defaults, and then follow the onscreen instructions

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hello, I have followed the above directions multiple times and after a few minutes the blue screen error comes back.

When I try to diagnose I'm getting  computer does not recognize the USB device.

Everything was working great until yesterday. I went to device manager and the printer shows its there.
