Same here. For everyone having this issue all at once is sure a big coincidence!

I had this problem and the suggestions from HP staff make no sense even though I tried them. What worked for me was to do a Factory Reset and then reconnect the printer to my network. It has been working now for the last 48 hours without any recurrence of the issue. Clearly it was as a result of an automatic update from HP and somehow the Factory Reset has taken me back to something that works. I am worried that another HP update will mean I have to do this again.

20Aug2021 Update: It has continued to work!

I've been getting the 0XB8519CA6  error constantly for the past few weeks. I hit the on/off button on the front and then it clears and the print job waiting prints.

Officejet 6950. Exact same problem. No coincidence. Will try factory reset even though it's a pain in the neck.

Ok Factory reset from the printer's control panel seems to fix that error code. Definitely not a hardware issue. Working like a charm.

I have tried this several times. It didn't work. The printer also does not have any updates available.

Pushing the power button clears the code for a few hours.

Acts like an end-of-life non-update issue, like an Android device.

Did you try a factory reset from the printer's panel?

HP Recommended

Printer works perfectly after factory reset.  Thanks for the advice.

Anytime

I also followed the factory reset a few weeks ago and so far no other issues and the error is gone. Goes to show that it most certainly is not a hardware issue.
