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

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
5. 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.
