If you scanner error 5 or printer hangs at scanner bulb warming up than the issue is with Scanning Assembly inside the printer and it is hardware issue.

Hi sumittaneja0:
Try these steps.

52 Scanner Error The all-in-one has experienced an internal
hardware error.
1. Turn off the power by using the power
switch, and then wait at least 30
seconds.
2. If a surge protector is being used,
remove it. Plug the all-in-one directly
into the wall socket.
3. Check the FFC connection between the
formatter and the scanner.
NOTE Do not bend or fold the
FFCs during the removal or
reinstallation process.
4. Try connecting the product to a different
power source or surge protector.
5. Turn on the power and wait for the all-inone
to initialize.
6. If the error persists, replace the laser scanner assembly

Hope this helps

This is a service repair error.

These steps you can try yourself, else you have to get to a HP repair centre:

You can perform a "NVRAM INITZ"

Follow these steps
------------------
-switch off the printer, then remove all cables connecting to the printer but just the power cable.
-then press and hold the *(start/symoble) and 5 button togather and turn on the printer.
-continue holding the button till you see "perment storage init" displayed and releas the button.
-then at a given point of time the printer will ask you to change laguage,time,date etc.
if this does not sort the issue service is required.

SOURCE: PCL XL error in hp laserjet 3055

Hi,
information about the cause:
PCL XL error pages that print from an HP LaserJet 1200, 1300, 2200, 2300, 3200 or 3300 series product when a PCL 6 printer driver is in use typically indicate a communication issue. Sometimes this issue is caused by an incompatibility between the Enhanced XL language and the software application.

You can find the solution for this error here:
(It's a long instruction page, I advise to copy the sections that refere to your OS to a separate document, so you don't miss any step)
