[ERLAHYOU]

 What is DOOODEAD blue error message? My printer wonʻt work. I turned it off, unplugged it, replugged it, tried to restart it again, but before the blue line signifying itʻs completed turning on, the error message "DOOODEAD" shows up and nothing else happens.  What do I do?

Hi @ERLAHYOU,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

A blue screen error, especially one displaying "DOOODEAD," on an HP printer, often indicates a software or hardware issue.

Please try the steps below, which will try to help resolve the issue.

Please remove the Cartridges from the Printer if possible, and try a Hard Reset. Do keep us posted to help you better

** Hard reset :
1. Turn the printer on if it is not already on.
2. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
3. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
4. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
5. Wait at least 60 seconds.
6. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
NOTE: HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.
7. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
8. Turn on the printer if it does not automatically turn on. The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.
9. Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

HP Smart App: Please uninstall the HP Smart app --> restart the Device, Wi-Fi router and printer --> reinstall it back and add the printer.
 

HP Firmware Update: Please update the Firmware from the link. This will help to update the firmware on the printer or devices.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
