In the last month this printer never had any problems.
If I try to print more than one copy of any document (Word, PowerPoint) the printer will go into an error state and the Troubleshoot cannot identify the problem. The printer will display one of several errors, such as the one shown with this posting.
Printing PDF files are very problematic, same issue.
Turning the printer on an off do not work, restarting and clearning printer will not work.
A restart on the computer will not fix the problem, but going through a complete power off and on again will fix the problem. Downloaded the driver and installed last week. Fix some but not this error.
Printer is connected via a USB connection.
Thank you.

Hi Macduffy,
I saw the same problem (“49 err”) and it’s printing fine now. My solution is using old driver (HP Universal Printing PCL6) for printers HP Laserjet P2050/2055. It’s “upd-pcl6-x64-6.0.0.18849.exe” version.
The first, you download it on:
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/UPD/
Then you try follow these steps:
- Turn off printer.
- Go Control Panel\Devices and Printers, select “Remove Device” all printers (of HP).
- Go Control Panel\Programs and Features, uinstall/remove all programs (of HP).
- Restart computer.
- Run file “upd-pcl6-x64-6.0.0.18849.exe”, select “USB mode plug and play”.
- Go “Devices and Printers” again, select “Remove Device” all printers (of HP) add new.
- Restart computer again.
- Turn on printer and wait windows find and know your printer. If windows know your printer is “HP Universal Printing PCL6” is OK.

Thank you for trying to assist.
Printer is not printing, now the troubleshooter is saying it cannot identify the problem.
In the proposed solution, I selected the Plug an Play option. Two printers are displayed:
HP LaserJet P2055 Series - "Driver is unavailable"
HP LaserJet P2055dn UPD PUL 5 Default printer
I have restarted, shut down, switch from USB 2 to USB 3.
With no additional error messages to follow up on, I am completely lost.
Any other solutions welcomed.
Thank you

Hi Macduffy,
After you installed, "Two printers are displayed:
HP LaserJet P2055 Series - Driver is unavailable and HP LaserJet P2055dn UPD PCL 5/PCL6 - Default printer", you need delete both printers before restart computer.
Let you retry once!
Note: Some printers Laserjet 2050/2055 saw "49 err" affer upgrade to Windows 10 64 bit. I help somebody. You can see some my post with them:
