Error message B305DFF9

[ecwhitby]

I keep getting error message B305DFF9.  My software is up-to-date ( just tried to update the firmware today, and the installed software was up-to-date).  Unplugging the printer clears the error message temporarily.  Recommendations?

@ecwhitby, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I understand you are not able to print due to this intermittent error. We will have to perform a factory reset on the printer.

• The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may corrupt the device.
• I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.

I also have this error message on my OfficeJet 9018. Within a few hours of each use, the printer blue screens and requires pulling the power and restarting. None of the tips posted that I have seen have worked. Perhaps the "reset" referenced below would work?

Hello, I keep posting here hoping to get someone to send the instructions for the reset. I'm not sure why some posts get replied to but not others. It has been three weeks of trying to fix this problem.

I am having the same problem with my 9018. Turning on and off solves it temporarily, and then the error reappears. I also tried removing the print cartridges.

Help!

Hi Jay, I keep posting about the same problem (a 9025 with the B305DFF9 error) and you skipped my message going on to the next complainant. I'd really appreciate a response as the printer is useless without a reset or new firmware. Thank you.
