The “Scanner error 2” is a common problem on the HP Color LaserJet 2820 and 2840 series printers. The general advice is to turn the printer on and off, and see if the error resolves. If the “Scanner error 2” keeps coming back, you should replace the flatbed scanner assembly.
Turn off the HP printer and unplug it from the power source. Also, shut down your computer and unplug any external devices. Wait for a few minutes and then plug in the printer and turn it back on. Finally, turn on your computer and check if the error state has been resolved.
Use HP Print and Scan Doctor (Windows) Use HP Print and Scan Doctor on your Windows computer to help diagnose and fix printing and scanning issues. Make sure paper is loaded in the main tray, and then turn on the printer. Download HP Print and Scan Doctor, and then follow the prompts to install and open the tool.

Just above the circuit board on most printer cartridges, you`ll find a small button. You`ve seen these tiny buttons before on cell phones, phone chargers, etc. This is your reset button, and the only way to get in there is either with a paper clip or the tip of a pen (which will leave a tiny ink smudge on the button).

My 2550n Color LaserJet does not want to print in color
ANSWER : That model had issues with the carousel solenoid sticking. That might explain why it works after you let it sit for 10 minutes. The solenoid gets hotter with use which causes the deteriorated foam on it to become sticky and hold down the release plate instead of letting it go. This allows the carousel to spin when it is supposed to stop for each color. The solenoid is located on the right side of the printer. If you open the lid, it is just behind the opening at the top right. You need to remove the top of the printer and scrape off the goo on top of the solenoid body. I put a piece of thin sticky backed felt to replace it. Other people use electrical tape.
