HP 5859 - Error Code 0xc4eb8004 hw_micci2_v12 --- Error & Lights Blinking - HELP!! :)

[LJ-LJ]

I was trying to change the cartridges without going through the proper steps. I just opened it and changed out the color one without the cartridges sliding over. I was able to put in the new cartridge no problem. BUT then this error code popped up with lights blinking.

Error code: 0xc4eb8004 hw_micci2_v12

I did what other posts suggested, unplugged printer while on and then plugged directly into the wall. It worked again! I printed 3 different times yesterday. 

Today I woke up to the same error code and blinking lights. I unplugged it and let it sit and plugged it back in (again directly into wall outlet) and the error is still flashing. 

PLEASE HELP!! I need to print something today.. 

Thanks!!

Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that you are getting an 0xc4eb8004 error, I am glad to assist you.

You might have to perform a semi-full reset on the printer to fix this issue.

The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device.

I hope this helps resolve this issue completely.
