I got this printer very cheap from a courthouse that was getting rid of it. They said it worked fine. On initialization it fills all the bars partially and then solid. However, as it fills in the last bar solid I get a 79:04 error. From what I found via google searches this is a catchall error.

I am able to detect the printer with the hp instant printing application, sending a print just gives and infinite loading bar.

I attempted to update the firmware but I keep getting an error on my computer that I'm missing the driver. I have unzipped the windows 7 drivers the the default location suggested on my C drive(it was a temp folder in appdata). I am on windows 11 so I guess that could be an issue with that.

I have power cycled numerous times. I have connected to LAN and unconnected numerous times. I have removed all ink cartages, print heads, and the paper roll.

Being that it only throws the error right at the end I don't know if this could be a drive issue. I did attempt to find a drive image but all links online to one are long dead.
