Hi @Lancasterka,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
Thank you for sharing the error code so clearly. I know how frustrating it can be when your HP printer suddenly stops working and shows a cryptic message like: Error Code: Oxc4eb9024 Hj_micc12_v12. Let’s walk through this and clarify to get your printer back on track.
Recommended Steps to Fix It
1. Perform a Full Power Reset
This clears internal memory and resets the printer’s logic.
Steps:
- Turn off the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from both the printer and the wall outlet.
- Wait 60 seconds.
- Press and hold the power button for 30 seconds (while unplugged).
- Plug the printer directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector).
- Turn it back on.
2. Check for Paper Jams or Obstructions
- Open the ink access door.
- Remove cartridges and inspect the printhead area.
- Gently move the carriage left and right to ensure it moves freely.
- Remove any debris or stuck paper.
3. Clean the Printhead Contacts
Use a lint-free cloth dampened with distilled water to clean:
- The gold contacts on the cartridges
- The printhead contact area inside the printer
Let everything dry before reinserting.
4. Update Firmware via HP App
Outdated firmware can cause validation and error loops.
👉 Download HP App – For HP Printers, Laptops, and Tech Accessories | HP® Official Site
Use it to check for updates and run diagnostics.
5. Use HP’s Diagnose & Fix Tool
This tool can automatically detect and resolve common issues.

I hope this helps.
Take care and have an amazing day!
