Dear all
i have purchased 1 month ago the laser printer M234DW, it printed ok, although I never managed to finalize the registration of the product via HPSmart. When registering, it always gave the error UA_500_EB000U0415.
As of yesterday, the printer refuses to print because I must register it if I want to go on using it. I'd like to register it, but I cannot due to the error above in the registration phase.
Can somebody please give some guidance on what I should do to get my printer back in use?
It's really a pity I cannot even use it now, when I need it every day.
thanks
