I'm getting an error on the display that says "Printer Error. There is a problem with the printer. Turn the printer off, then On." I've done that multiple times. Used the power button. Unplugged the power cord. Powered down the router. The printer appears to turn on and the display is normal for a moment, then a blue screen flashes with the error code B8BB27AE and then it returns to the black Printer Error screen. Any ideas?
