My 8030 printer shows error code B88268C2

[LouC66]

I am running MacOs 17.6.1 My 8030 printer shows error code B88268C2 and prior to that it wouldn’t print because the “printer is busy” error remained after following troubleshooting steps. Blue screen and flashing lights. Just the sort of thing to scare you to death!

Hi @LouC66,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I understand you are getting an error message on your HP Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

We need to perform a semi-full reset to restore the printer back to its original settings.

The reset instructions are specific to your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device. 

I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instructions to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer. 

In order to access your private messages, click the private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP Community profile, next to your profile Name or simply click on this link.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
