Hi everyone. From this morning I have a problem with my HP OfficeJet 3834. When I try to turn on the printer, all the leds and buttons flash and the message "Error Code 0XB8203AC4" appears on the display. The printer will not turn off even if I keep the power button pressed. If I unplug the power cord, it turns off, when I reinsert it turns on by itself and everything flashes. About a month ago I updated the firmware and until yesterday everything worked quietly. Adopoero only original cartridges. Thank you all. Andrew.

Problem solved. Apparently, the problem solved itself. I do not know why, but after about an hour of error code, the printer went off. I turned it on and now it works properly. Thanks for the attention. Andrew
