Tried updating the firmware from HP.com.  Showed that it was PROGRAMMING then got 79 Service Error and printer continues to reboot over and over displaying the same message.  I checked that there are no jobs trying to send to printer.  It is on a network.  Tried rebooting the router also.  Can't get through to HP support.

Try this in https://www.reddit.com/r/printers/comments/jpgpp3/hp_laserjet_pro_m280_m281_printer_series_20200612/

to download old firmware and update to your printer.
