Turn off the printer and open the cover and manually rotate the assembly for the toner.

SOURCE: 52 scanner error on HP Color Laserjet 2840

The device has experienced an internal hardware error. Recommended Action

  1. Turn off the power by using the power switch, wait at least 30 seconds, and then turn on the power and wait for the device to initialize.
  2. If the error is still unresolved, contact Hewlett-Packard for technical support to troubleshoot the problem. Call HP for telephone support

Same problem. The stated solution doesn't work because when we try to rotate to yellow, it says "Incorrect Yellow" followed "Rotating to Magenta" It will not let us get to yellow.

Take the cartridge out and reseat it. If you bought a compatible toner I would order an OEM HP brand toner. These machines don't work well with compatibles.

I have hp laserjet 2840 i replaced imaging drum and black cartrige now my printer says incorrect yellow and i cant get it go rotate or print?
If you used a compatible cartridge (as I assume) the problem is with the cartridge "CHIP", very common on compatible cartridges, return the cartridge or replace the chip. The chip is on the top of the cartridge and can be remove.

HP LaserJet 2840 Printer. The yellow cartridge flashing?
Did you remove the sealing tape?

5. Remove the new print cartridge from its packaging, remove the orange cover from the print cartridge, and then pull the orange tab straight out to remove the sealing tape.

6. Squeeze the blue release levers on the print cartridge, holding it with the roller facing you. Lower the cartridge straight down into the carousel until it is firmly in place.

7. If you need to replace another cartridge, close the top cover and the scanner assembly, press ROTATE CAROUSEL, and then repeat steps 4 through 6.

Re-installing yellow cartridge in HP 2840
There is a gray button right of the LCD display that has a black arrow circling clockwise and four color dots (magenta/black/cyan/yellow). Push it until you see the "Rotating to Yellow" in the LCD display, then open up the top of the printer by pushing the big gray latch next to the picture card reader at the right front of the printer. You now have access to the cartridge. pull it out and examine it. If it is a new cartridge, check to see if you pulled the plastic dam strip out (which keeps the toner in place in shipment etc).
