I have a service error 79 and am low on ink. Hoping to not replace cartridge and then determine ink is not the issue. I powered off unplugged turned off ipv6 as suggested but still get error 79. Machine went off warranty in May

The printer Model is a ProMFP M283FDW. I have a service error 79 and the Firmware was updated at the end of May. Can it be ink related or is it a Hardware error? I see many posts that after the May update this error started.
