Нашел решение для обнуления ЛЮБОГО КОДА ОШИБКИ для принтеров HP Photosmart (возможно, и не только для них, не пробовал). Как работает у меня:
Зажимаем [стрелку Влево], потом нажимаем кнопку "Настройка (Setup)", потом отпускаем - появляется меню "Enter Special Key Combo".
Рекомендовано, но мне это не понадобилось: Зажать обе кнопки "Печать фото (Print Photos)" и "Коррекция фотографии (Red Eye Removal)", потом отпустить их. После этого нажать и отпустить по очереди "Коррекция фотографии (Red Eye Removal)", "Печать фото (Print Photos)", "Коррекция фотографии (Red Eye Removal)".
Теперь нажимаем [стрелку Вправо], пока не перейдем на пункт "System Configuration".
Нажимаем OK.
Нажимаем [стрелку Вправо], пока не дойдем до "Hardware failure status: Clear. Press OK to clear". Если у Вас принтер работает нормально, то этого пункта в меню не будет. Важно: не печатать после этого!
Выключаем принтер, включаем снова.
Все, код ошибки сброшен.
