Same here. I have a tech background.

Can you please post the part number as well as where to order. HP should provide this FREE.  Furthermore, they should send a Tech to my house.

My point in the previous post. I'm trying to find out how many were sold. The automotive companies have recalls. HP need to be regulated so the consumer has recall protection.

I have a HP M281 CDW that no longer works after the October update. Keep bring up 49 or 79 errors over and over again. How do I fix this it happened after the October update.  Please Help

Wow, they sure did delete a lot of posts compared to this morning.  Not cool HP, not cool.

Stop blaming the consumer for being frustrated and feeling hopeless.

@Incith.
They're really quick to remove negative comments from their FB pages as well. It's thoroughly vile behaviour. As if they think silencing the naysayers will make them squeaky clean.
All they've been doing since this sh**storm started is pretending it's nothing to do with them, and making it all the customers problem. It's disgusting.

This is really sick. They spend more energy in removing negative comments then in solutions to keep their customers happy. Unbelievable policy. In the long run this will work against them. Never HP for me again.

I have been reading this string of errors following the firmware update from the end of October.  I have also been having an issue with my HP MFP M281 since that automatic firmware upgrade.  My printer is showing resend upgrade.  I have done a factory reset, I have unplugged the machine several time for hours and replugged it back in, I have attempted to reinstall the firmware directly from HP's website via a USB cable without any success.  With this error I am unable to print / scan.  This printer is crucial to my ability to work from home and has made it difficult for me without a solutions for a month now.  I have attempted to be patient as HP works for a solution, but as of now I have not seen one posted.   Can you please advise if a solution has been provided?

@US1A1A I can confirm that I have a M281fdw and installed a new formatter board from a M281cdw. Everything is working well. We didn't have this issue with the fuser that you have. Sorry to hear it and good luck.
