I'm getting errors that I can't clear. They are device was not shutdown properly. Paper jam. 0x6100004a. I've followed the steps to clear these errors that I found online and none are working. Any advice on how to clear these?

@kimwdesigns, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.
I understand the printer is stuck at this error. Check if you can bypass the error to access the home screen of the printer.
If yes, let us try this:
Go to Setup > Tools > Restore to factory defaults
Note: You will have to reconnect the printer to the wireless network after the reset
Reset the printer
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
- Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
- Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.
If this does not help, unplug the power cable and hold the power button down for 10-15 seconds and release it. Power on the printer and check.

Check for any jams inside the printer and make sure the carriage is moving freely.
Refer to - Paper Jam Error
If the error persists, I'm afraid this is a hardware failure.
Please reach out to the HP Technical Support team in your region regarding the service/replacement options for your printer.
