Hi @Dawn123456789,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
The error code "E 0" on an HP printer typically indicates a paper jam. Even though you may not see any paper jammed in the printer, sometimes the sensors or other components may still detect a jam. Here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.
Check for any paper jams:
- Open all the printer covers and trays to inspect for any bits of torn paper or foreign objects.
- Make sure to check the paper path thoroughly, including the input and output trays.
Restart the printer:
- Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
- Wait for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on.
Reset the printer:
- Turn off the printer.
- Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Wait for at least 60 seconds.
- Reconnect the power cord and turn on the printer.
Check for obstructions:
- Inspect the carriage area and ensure there are no obstructions or foreign objects.
Update firmware:
- Visit the HP support website and check if there's a firmware update available for your printer model. If yes, download and install it.
Verify cartridge installation:
- Make sure that the cartridges are installed correctly. Remove and reseat them to ensure they are properly inserted.
Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor:
- Download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor utility from the HP website. This tool can automatically diagnose and resolve many printing issues.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
