Fix Printer Failure 0x6100004a HP OfficeJet

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

My HP OfficeJet 6968 wouldn't print and was giving me a "printer failure" with this error code: 0x6100004a
I called HP Support and they told me to buy a printer. I did some more research online and someone suggested performing a factory reset on the printer. This worked and got the printer working again. Hopefully it works for you, too.

    BRAVO! Worked perfectly. Can't believe how bad HP Support has become. Telling a customer to buy a new printer and giving him/her useless advice is really really SAD...

    Thank you so much. I got this printer years ago and only used it twice. I put it away for over 2-3 years and just started using it again. I was discouraged when this error message popped up. I've followed these instructions twice and it hasn't worked but it's good to see the video and others experiencing this same nonsensical issue and getting it resolved even.

    Amazing! You can add me to the list of grateful people. I have a 6958 printer and spend about 2 hours on various HP forums and online assistance. Nothing worked. I watched your video and did the reset and it works like new! Thank you!

    Reset didn't work. They pulled an apple "slowdown" on me. I was printing just fine until this "failure"

    Fixed it for me, thank you. Did take a couple of tries but eventually the printer carriage released from the right where it was Jammed and NO PAPER in there before at all.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH, it worked! after a lot of hassle and trying out all suggestions by HP, I got in contact by phone with their technical support, but they advised me to buy a new printer/scanner - fortunately I did a last search on KZread and followed these instructions.

    Thank you! There are a few over complicated videos claiming to fix this error but your factory reset recommendation took 5 minutes and completely fixed the issue. yourethemannowdawg

    My problem with an Officejet Pro 6978 sounded exactly like yours however the factory reset did not fix my problem. Thanks for the tip though.

    Any other suggestions? Exact same problem word for word. No luck on the factory reset. Have HP officejet pro 6978. Don't want to buy another printer. Tried unplugging numerous times.

    Hmm that’s a different printer than mine, probably why the fix doesn’t work.

    Didn’t work for my 6958. I’ve tried cleaning it and everything. If I could just get the ink thing to slide over I’d take that out too to try and clean. This is driving me nuts! I don’t wanna buy another printer when this works fine! Expect for this dang error message. It’s haunted me for over 3 years!

    HP printer 6962 had this same error code and thanks this didnt work. Terrible printers these OfficeJets are trash. Replaced ink cartridges and it worked for several months than this error code came up and now cartridges holder will not move. Did all resets shown, called HP tech and they will not help without getting paid. HP Trash
