You are probably confusing the printer. You seem to using 2 dimms that are 48mb and each also have 8mb flash. Those chips contain the firmware in the flash section and memory in the other. Since you are probably using a dimm chip from another LJ2300 you are confusing the printer with 2 firmwares. You need to use a 32, 64 or 128 dimm in the 3rd slot. Only 1 of the 8mb/48mb chips can be used in this printer.
