Hi @Shamika1,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding error message on your printer!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
The "62.80.13" error on your HP OfficeJet Pro 8028e All-in-One Printer typically indicates an issue with the printhead. This error often happens when the printer's printhead is either misaligned, clogged, or there is a problem with the printhead's connection.
Here are the steps you can try to resolve this issue:
Check and Clean the Printhead
The printhead could be clogged, which causes the error.
Cleaning the Printhead:
- Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
- Open the printer cover to access the printhead and cartridges.
- Remove the ink cartridges from the printhead.
- Check the printhead for any visible ink clogs. Gently wipe the printhead with a damp lint-free cloth to clean any ink build-up.
- Use distilled water or a cleaning solution designed for printheads if necessary. Avoid using tap water as it may cause mineral build-up.
- Reinsert the cartridges and ensure they’re seated properly.
- Close the printer cover, plug the printer back in, and power it on.
Perform a Printer Reset
Sometimes a reset can clear temporary errors:
- Turn off the printer and unplug the power cable.
- Wait for about 60 seconds to allow the printer to reset.
- Plug the printer back in and turn it on.
- Check if the error still appears.
Check the Ink Cartridges
Ensure that the ink cartridges are installed correctly and are not damaged or improperly seated, as this can cause printhead errors.
- Remove and reinsert the cartridges to ensure a secure fit.
- Check that the ink cartridges have enough ink.
Update Printer Firmware
Outdated firmware can sometimes cause errors. Updating the printer’s firmware might help fix the issue.
- Download the HP Smart app or go to the HP Support website.
- Look for a firmware update for your printer model.
- Follow the instructions to update the firmware.
Try a Printhead Replacement (if Necessary)
If none of the above steps work and the error persists, the printhead might be faulty and may need to be replaced. You can contact HP Support for further assistance or to purchase a replacement printhead.
Perform a Printer Diagnostic Test
Some HP printers offer built-in diagnostic tools that can help identify and resolve errors.
- Use the HP Smart app or the printer’s control panel to run a diagnostic test.
- Follow the instructions to resolve any issues the diagnostic tool identifies.
