I have the same printer and in the last few days it has started to show error code 0xB3D50A2B on the printer display and flashes the lights on the printer.  I have a combination of Windows and Linux machines that print to this printer.  I've reset it by unplugging the printer which temporarily clears the error code but it comes back after a short period of time.

Seems like there are hundreds of us with the same issue, HP software update must have screwed them up, radio silence

Hi @laserbeam, @greentrees21,

 

I'd like to help!

 

I understand you are receiving a "0xb" error on the printer screen.

 

We can perform a factory defaults on the printer to resolve the issue

 

  • The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may corrupt the device.
  • I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
  • In order to access your private messages, click the private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP Support Community profile, next to your profile Name or simply click on this link: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/notes/privatenotespage

 Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

It's the same "Oxb" that is the subject of this thread

Hi Jay_g24 - I cannot access your link.  I get an access denied message.  I also cannot find the private message that you said you sent.  Can you post the instructions for the HP Envy 5012?

Thanks!
