Troubleshooting procedure is to remove the jet direct card first to see if the error clears.

Next remove the HPGL card and see if you can print.

Service documentation also states that 3rd party supplies such as printheads or ink can cause this error as well.

If you find the information provided useful or solves your problems, help other users find the solution easier by giving kudos and marking my post as an accepted solution.
