Is your office printer not working again? Is your printer displaying a 49 Error? Don’t get too stressed out! Chances are the problem can be solved quickly and easily in just a few steps. To begin assessing the problem, start by checking the basics. Is there paper in the tray? Are the ink cartridges empty? Is the printer connected to a power source?

After confirming that everything is properly setup, check whether there is a message/warning light on the printer. The message should give you the details of what’s wrong. One of the most common problems is a 49 Error. 

What are 49 Errors?

49 Errors are among the most common issues on HP LaserJet printers, especially in a network environment. What this error boils down to is simply that the printer cannot understand the information being sent to it. In most cases this is due to a corrupt file being sent. 

SOLUTION

If your HP laser printer is displaying a 49 error message, 

• Turn the printer off. 

• Delete the last job being sent. 

• Power the printer back on. 

• Re-send the job. 

If the above does not work, there is the possibility of a hardware issue. To solve this, try the following: 

• Unplug the network cable and then power the printer off & on. 

• If the printer powers on to ‘ready,’ the problem is most likely net- work related. 

• In the rare instances that the printer is at fault, the most likely causes are: the network card, the formatter (motherboard), a firmware upgrade (very rare).
