HP OfficeJet Pro 8028 All in One Error code 71.02.4A

[MarkF8]

I've seen a couple of threads with similar question.  They are almost a year old so starting a new one.  Getting the 71.02.4A error code. Replaced the cartridges (replaced HP ink with HP ink), cleaned contacts and unplugged the system to reset.  Nothing has cleared the error.  Thanks in advance.

Hi @MarkF8 

Welcome to HP Support Community. 

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

I see that you are facing event code issue with your HP printer.

Check for obstructions in the carriage path to make sure the carriage path is not blocked.

1. With the printer on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
2. If your printer has a battery, remove the battery.
3. Open the door to access the carriage inside of the printer.

Examples of carriage access doors

1. Look in the carriage path for debris such as crumpled paper or dislodged labels, and then remove any that you find.

Example of a printer with debris in the carriage path

1. If the carriage on your printer has a latch, make sure it is closed.
2. Use your hand to move the carriage to each side, making sure it moves freely. If the carriage is stalled or docked to one side of the printer and you cannot move it, continue with these steps.
3. Close the carriage access door.
4. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer, and then turn the printer on.

Reset the printer

An error might continue to display after the jam is cleared. To clear the error state, reset the printer, connecting the power cord directly to a wall outlet to make sure the power source is stable and prevent more carriage jams.

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.
2. Unplug the power cord from the power source.
3. Wait 60 seconds.
4. Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.

Update the printer firmware to install the latest updates

Sadly, none of the tech's suggestions helped with my issue.  Printer is just 2 years old and I hadn't even gone through a ream of paper yet.  Very disappointing.  This was my last HP printer purchase.
