Welcome to the HP Forums, this is a great location to get assistance! I read your post and see that you are getting Error code 0xC19A0022 on your printer. I would like to help you resolve this issue. 

 

However, I will need a few details to provide an accurate solution,

When did this issue start?

Did you do any hardware or software changes?

How is the printer connected to computer, wired or wireless?

 

Meanwhile

 

Reset the printer

  1. Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.

  2. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.

  3. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.

  4. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

  5. Wait at least 60 seconds.

  6. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.

       NOTE:

    HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.

  7. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.

  8. Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.

    The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.

  9. Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Clean the ink cartridge vents and contacts

  1. Gather the following materials:

    • A pin to clean any clogged vents

    • A clean, lint-free cloth

    • A clean, dry cotton swab

    • Distilled or bottled water

         CAUTION:

      Do not use tap water because it might contain contaminants that can damage the printhead.

  2. Turn on the printer.

  3. Open the ink cartridge access door.

  4. To remove the ink cartridge, press the tab on the front of the ink cartridge to release it, and then remove it.

  5. Place the ink cartridges on a clean piece of paper with the ink opening pointing up.

       CAUTION:

    Do not leave the ink cartridges outside the printer longer than 30 minutes. Doing so can result in damage to both the printer and the ink cartridges.

  6. If an orange tab is attached to any ink cartridge, remove it.

Questions asked of me:

How is the printer connected to the PC: Wireless

What was I doing: Documents were being printed and it stopped with the error code

 

Before I asked for help:

I moved the power cord plug to the wall.

I unplugged it and replugged it back in multiple times.

I performed the clean process from the web instructions which match the ones sent to me.

 

I still have the error code.
