While printing several envelopes, I received a blinking "error code 0xB8550546" message. Entire screen is blinking. All I can do is turn the printer off. When I turn it back on, it says that the printer was turned off incorrectly and damage may result. When I try to print again, even on regular paper, I get the blinking error code. What do I need to do? What does this code mean?

Hello,
In some cases, removing the ink cartridges and resetting the printer may resolve the error message.
- Turn on the printer.
- Before continuing, wait until the printer is inactive and silent.
- Disconnect the USB cable from the back of the printer. If your printer has a network or wireless connection, leave it connected.
- Remove the ink cartridges from the printer.
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from the power source.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.
NOTE:
HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet. - Turn the printer on.
- Reinsert the ink cartridges, and then close the ink cartridge access door.
- If you receive a prompt to print a calibration or alignment page, do so.
- If you have disconnected the USB cable, reconnect it to the back of the product.
- Try to print.
If the problem persists, please follow the instructions of the HP link A 'Paper Jam' Error Displays.
