Product: HP Color LaserJet Pro M255dw
Operating System: macOS 26.0 Tahoe

M255DW printer keeps saying error 79 and keeps trying to restart - over and over.  I've unplugged the printer - waited 60 seconds - many times - still doesn't work.

 

I have read previous posts that list the usual fixes (unplug, restart, update firmware, etc.) and the only fix that actually worked was to restart and revert back to factory settings.  However, once I do that and then try to update it to the latest drivers and firmware, the problem authomatically returns.  It's as if the latest update does not work with the latest macOS (26.5.2).

 

Not sure what to do in order to use the latest updates.  I've changed settings to not do any updates, but not sure about the stability going forward.
