Hi @wayneh901,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
The "e0" error on the HP DeskJet 4255e typically indicates a problem with the printer's cartridge or printhead. Since your printer is new, here are a few troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue.
Check the Cartridges:
- Ensure the ink cartridges are correctly installed. Remove the cartridges and reinsert them carefully, making sure they are secure.
- Check for any protective tape or packaging that might not have been removed from the cartridges.
Inspect the Printhead:
- If the error persists, remove the printhead (if accessible) and check for any obstructions or protective materials left inside.
Reset the Printer:
- Turn off the printer.
- Unplug it from the power source.
- Wait for about 30 seconds to 1 minute before plugging it back in and turning the printer on again.
Check for Paper Jams:
- Sometimes, paper jams or debris inside the printer can trigger errors. Open the printer and inspect for any stuck paper or foreign objects.
Ensure Correct Cartridges:
- Make sure you are using the correct and compatible ink cartridges for the HP DeskJet 4255e. Using third-party or incompatible cartridges might cause errors.
Update Printer Firmware:
- Check if there are any firmware updates available for your printer via the HP Smart app or the printer's settings.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
