E0 error

[Gt1050se]

My Envy 6032 wouldn't connect to the internet following a change of router and broadband provider.

I tried via HP Smart app and then using the WPS button as recommended but neither work. Despite printing out the wireless quick start guide (proving all is printing well) I'm now getting an E0 error code after trying to do a factory reset.

Can't get a hold of anyone at HP so I'm hoping someone can help before I either take a hammer to it or drive down to Currys for a refund (it's only a few months old and I'm stupidly paying monthly for instant ink subscription that I can't use)!

Hi @Gt1050se,

I'd like to help!

I understand you are unable to connect the printer to the network and you're receiving an E0 error on the printer.

An E0 error indicates an unusable cartridge.

This condition occurs when at least one ink cartridge needs attention, is faulty, incorrect, missing, damaged, or incompatible. Reseat both ink cartridges, clean the ink cartridge contacts, restart the printer

Try the below steps to resolve the error-

Reset the printer

Reset the printer to recover from printer errors or failures.

1. If your printer has a rechargeable battery, remove it.

2. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.

3. Unplug the power cord from the power source.

4. Wait 60 seconds.

5. Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.

   NOTE: 

   HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

6. Turn on the printer to complete the reset.

Clean the ink cartridge and carriage electrical contacts

Remove any debris or buildup from the contacts on the cartridges and in the carriage.

1. Open the door or lid to the cartridge access area. Wait until the carriage stops moving before continuing.

2. Remove the cartridge indicated in the error message from the carriage.

   • Carriages with cartridge latches: Open the latch, and then pull the cartridge up and out of the slot.

     

   • Carriages without cartridge latches: Gently press down on the cartridge to release it, and then pull it out of the slot.

     

3. Holding the cartridge by the sides, remove any protective tape that still might be on the contacts.

   CAUTION: 

   Do not touch the ink nozzles or the copper-colored electrical strip. Touching or trying to remove these parts can result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.

   

4. Lightly dampen a lint-free cloth with distilled water, and then wipe the copper-colored contacts on the cartridge.

   

5. Lightly dampen a lint-free cloth or swab with distilled water, and then clean the electrical contacts in the carriage.

   

6. Wait 10 minutes for the contacts to dry, and then reinsert the cartridge into its color-coded slot.

7. Repeat these steps for the other cartridge if it was indicated in the error message.

8. Close the door or lid to the cartridge access area.

   If the error persists, clean the cartridge and carriage contacts a second time.

Try the single-cartridge mode

The printer you own can work in single-cartridge mode, wherein the printer will be able to print with one cartridge in the printer. Which will help us identify if its a cartridge issue or a printhead issue

To try single-cartridge mode follow the below steps:

• remove the black ink from the printer, leave the color in and try printing
• then remove the color ink and, insert the black  in and try printing

You could perform a factory reset by following the below steps-

To restore the printer to the original factory defaults

1. Lift the cartridge access door to expose the cartridge area.

2. While the cartridge access door is open, press and hold (the Power button) and Wireless button on the back of the printer for three seconds

Try the steps in the document to connect the printer to the network Wireless Printer Setup
