Hi @PAM058,

 

I'd like to help!

 

I understand you are receiving a "B305" error on the printer screen.

 

We can perform a factory defaults on the printer to resolve the issue

 

Try the below suggestions-

 

Reset the product

  1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
  2. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  3. Wait at least 60 seconds.
  4. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
  5. Reconnect the power cord to the printer.
  6. Turn the printer on. HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

 To restore the printer to the original factory defaults

 

1. On the printer control panel display, from the Home screen, swipe left to see ( Setup ) and touch ( Setup ).

2. Touch Tools, touch Restore Factory Defaults, and then follow the onscreen instructions

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

thank you -- I did both steps as indicated and although I attempted to reset to factory defaults, the screen went back to the error code again.  A new twist, the printer is now beeping as it is getting to the setup screen. 

 

The error code is 

 

OXOO829C98

HW WATCHDOG C

 

Any suggestions?

We can perform a semi full reset on the printer to resolve the issue

  • 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.
  • In order to access your private messages, click the private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP Support Community profile, next to your profile Name or simply click on this link: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/notes/privatenotespage

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
