I have replaced all print cartridges, so each one is full. My printer will not print, and this is the code I receive: 0x61011bed
Any ideas? Please and thank you.

@michannemag, Hello and welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for posting your question. I'm here to help you get things back on track.
The error code 0x61011bed typically indicates a carriage jam or mechanical failure related to the ink system or printhead movement. Let’s walk through some steps to help resolve this:
Power Reset the Printer
- Turn off the printer using the power button.
- Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer and from the wall outlet.
- Wait for 60 seconds.
- Reconnect the power cord directly to a wall outlet (avoid surge protectors).
- Turn the printer back on.
This clears temporary errors and resets the printer hardware.
Check for Paper or Obstructions
- Open the ink cartridge access door.
- Look inside for any paper debris, foreign objects, or loose ink cartridges.
- Gently move the carriage (printhead) left and right to ensure it moves freely.
- Close the door and try printing again.
Reinstall Ink Cartridges
- Remove all cartridges and inspect them for damage or leaks.
- Reinstall them one by one, ensuring each clicks into place.
- Make sure you're using genuine HP cartridges.
Update Firmware (if accessible)
- If the printer connects to Wi-Fi and the display is functional, check for firmware updates via the printer's control panel.
- Alternatively, visit the HP Officejet 6600 support page to download the latest firmware and drivers.
