HI @Richard245GT 

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

 

The error code 0xb8111cb0 on your HP OfficeJet 4630 generally indicates a problem with the printer’s ink system or a hardware issue. Here are steps to troubleshoot and potentially fix this issue:

**1. Check Ink Cartridges and Printhead

Reinstall Ink Cartridges:

  • Turn on the printer and open the ink cartridge access door.
  • Remove the ink cartridges and reinstall them, making sure they are properly seated and clicked into place.

Inspect Cartridges:

  • Check the ink cartridges for any signs of damage or leaks.
  • Ensure the cartridges are not empty and are installed correctly.

Clean Printhead Contacts:

  • Turn off the printer and open the access door.
  • Remove the printhead (if removable) and gently clean the electrical contacts with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not touch the nozzles directly.

**2. Perform a Hard Reset

  • Power Cycle the Printer:
    • Turn off the printer.
    • Unplug it from the power source.
    • Wait for 60 seconds.
    • Plug the printer back in and turn it on.

**3. Update or Reinstall Printer Drivers

Update Drivers:

  • Visit the HP Support website and download the latest drivers for your OfficeJet 4630.
  • Install the drivers and follow the on-screen instructions.

Reinstall Printer Software:

  • Uninstall the current printer software from your computer.
  • Restart your computer.
  • Reinstall the printer software from the HP website.

**4. Check for Firmware Updates

  • Update Firmware:
    • Check for firmware updates on the HP Support website.
    • Follow the instructions to download and install any available updates.

**5. Inspect for Hardware Issues

Check for Obstructions:

  • Open all access doors and check for any paper or other obstructions inside the printer.

Inspect for Physical Damage:

  • Look for any signs of physical damage to the printer or its components.

**6. Reset Printer Settings

Perform a Factory Reset:

  • If the issue persists, consider performing a factory reset on your printer. Refer to the printer’s manual or the HP website for instructions on how to perform a factory reset. This will restore the printer to its default settings.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
