Hi @Shtmlf,

A PCL XL error usually means the printer received print data it can't process. It's typically caused by a corrupted print job or driver, not the hardware.

  1. Turn the printer off, unplug it for 60 seconds, then plug it back in.
  2. On the PC, open Services, stop "Print Spooler", delete the files in C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS, then start the spooler again.
  3. Remove the M118dw from Printers & scanners and install the full driver for your model: HP LaserJet Pro M118dw Software and Drivers
  4. If the error only happens with certain files (e.g. PDFs), try the HP Universal Print Driver from the same page, or print the PDF as an image (Adobe Reader > Print > Advanced > Print as image).

Let us know if it happens with every document or only specific ones.
