As I understand you are getting a '0x' error message on your HP Photosmart printer. I'll be really glad to help you with this,

 

Please make sure that the printer is connected directly to the wall outlet and not to the surge protector.

Perform a Hard Reset on the printer.

* With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

* Remove USB cable, if present.

* Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.

* Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord and then plug back the power cord to the printer.

* Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.

 

For more details, please follow the steps suggested in the support document - click here

 

If the issue persists, I would suggest this to be an issue with the printer hardware, I would recommend you contact our HP phone support for available service options. Please fill in the product details to get the tech support number.
