Hi @MS1976, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
The error code 0xB857FA54 typically indicates a hardware issue with your HP printer. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

Power Cycle the Printer

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
  • Wait for about 2–3 minutes.
  • Plug the printer back in and turn it on.

Check for Paper Jams or Obstructions

  • Open all accessible compartments and remove any jammed paper.
  • Ensure no foreign objects are inside the printer.

Reset the Printer

  • If your printer has a reset option, perform a factory reset (usually found in the settings menu under "Restore Defaults" or "Reset").
  • If the printer does not respond, try a hard reset by holding the power button for 10–15 seconds.

Check Ink Cartridges

  • If your printer uses ink cartridges, remove and reseat them.
  • If the issue persists, try replacing the cartridges with genuine HP cartridges.

Update Printer Firmware

  • Visit HP Support and check for any available firmware updates.
  • Install updates using HP Smart or HP Easy Start software.

Reinstall Printer Drivers

  • Uninstall the printer drivers from your computer.
  • Download and reinstall the latest drivers from the HP website.

If the issue persists, it may be a hardware failure. You will have to visit the nearest HP authorized service center. Kindly follow this link to locate the nearest HP service center: https://support.hp.com/us-en/help/service-center
