Hi @Daza1690,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I understand and I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're experiencing with your HP OfficeJet Pro 9130e. Let's go through some steps to troubleshoot and resolve the errors:

Event Code Descriptions

The specific event codes you mentioned relate to various types of errors:

  • F0.01.01.02 Critical Error: This typically indicates a severe malfunction that requires immediate attention.
  • F0.04.02.03 Warning Error: This is usually less severe but still indicates an issue that needs addressing.
  • F0.03.09.05 Error: This could be related to network or communication problems.

Troubleshooting Steps

Restart the Printer: As you mentioned, restarting helps temporarily. Ensure the printer is completely powered off before turning it back on.

Let's perform a power drain: 

  • With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Remove USB cable, if present.
  • Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
  • Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
  • Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle

Update Firmware and Drivers:

  • Ensure your printer firmware is up to date. You can check for firmware updates via the HP Smart app or HP's website.
  • Update the drivers on both your Windows 10 laptop and MacBook Air. Update the firmware on an HP printer

Check Network Connection:

  • Make sure the WiFi connection is stable. Try placing the printer closer to the router to avoid signal issues.
  • Restart your router.

Reset Network Settings on the Printer:

  • Reset the network settings on the printer and reconfigure the WiFi connection.
  • Go to the printer's control panel, navigate to "Setup" > "Network Setup" > "Restore Network Settings".

Reinstall Printer on Devices:

  • Remove the printer from your devices and reinstall it.
  • On Windows: Go to "Settings" > "Devices" > "Printers & Scanners", remove the printer, and then add it back.
  • On Mac: Go to "System Preferences" > "Printers & Scanners", remove the printer, and then add it back.

Check for Obstructions or Paper Jams:

  • Open the printer and check for any obstructions or paper jams that might be causing errors.
  • Ensure all printer parts are securely in place.
  • Use HP Smart App: The HP Smart app can help diagnose and fix issues. Make sure you have it installed and use it to troubleshoot.
