Hi @theretrix,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
The error codes you're seeing on your HP OfficeJet Pro X451dw suggest a potential firmware or hardware issue. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot and resolve the problem:
1. Perform a Hard Reset
- Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
- Wait for about 60 seconds.
- Plug it back in and turn it on.
2. Check for Firmware Updates
- Visit the HP support website and check if there's a firmware update available for your printer model. If there is, follow the instructions to update it.
3. Clear the Print Queue
- On your computer, go to the Control Panel > Devices and Printers, right-click on your printer, and select See what's printing. Cancel any pending jobs.
4. Check for Paper Jams
- Open the printer and check for any paper jams or obstructions that might be causing the printer to freeze.
5. Inspect Ink Cartridges
- Ensure that all ink cartridges are properly installed and not running low. Sometimes, issues with cartridges can cause errors.
6. Reset the Printer to Factory Defaults
- If the issue persists, consider resetting the printer to factory defaults through the printer's settings menu.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
