Hi @Janv25df,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Error 05 on an HP LaserJet MFP typically indicates a paper jam or a problem with the paper feed mechanism. If you can't see any visible paper jam, try these steps to resolve the issue.
Check All Paper Paths:
- Open all doors and trays to ensure there are no pieces of paper stuck inside.
- Look inside the fuser area and any other accessible areas for any jammed paper or small debris.
Remove and Reinsert Paper Trays:
- Take out all paper trays and check for any jammed paper or debris.
- Reinsert the trays securely, making sure they are properly aligned.
Inspect the Paper Feed Rollers:
- Clean the paper feed rollers using a lint-free cloth and some water or a mild cleaner. Dust and debris on the rollers can cause paper jams.
- If the rollers are worn out, you may need to replace them.
Check for Obstructions:
- Ensure there are no foreign objects or small pieces of paper stuck in the paper path or inside the printer.
Reset the Printer:
- Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source for a few minutes.
- Plug it back in and turn it on. Sometimes, resetting the printer can clear the error code.
Update Printer Firmware:
- Check if there is a firmware update available for your printer model on the HP website and apply it if necessary.
Perform a Hard Reset:
- If the issue persists, try performing a hard reset according to your printer’s manual or HP support website.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
