Hi @Tmoussa,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Error codes 49 and 75 on HP LaserJet printers can indicate different issues. Here’s a breakdown of both errors and steps to troubleshoot them:
Error 49: Service Error
This error usually relates to a firmware or communication issue. Here are some steps you can take:
Power Cycle the Printer:
- Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, wait for about 30 seconds, and then plug it back in and turn it on.
Check for Updates:
- Ensure that your printer's firmware is up to date. You can check for firmware updates on the HP support website.
Disconnect and Reconnect:
- If the printer is connected via a network, try disconnecting it from the network and then reconnecting it.
Remove and Reinsert Cartridges:
- Take out the toner cartridges, check for any obstructions, and then reinstall them.
Clear Print Queue:
- Make sure there are no stuck print jobs in the print queue. Clear the queue if necessary.
Factory Reset:
- If the problem persists, consider doing a factory reset of the printer. Refer to the user manual for the steps specific to your model.
Error 75: Invalid Printer Error
This error usually indicates a problem with the printer’s connection or communication. Here’s how to address it:
Check Connections:
- Ensure that all cables (USB or network) are securely connected.
Check Network Configuration:
- If using a network connection, ensure the printer has a valid IP address. You can print a configuration page from the printer's menu to check the network settings.
Restart Network Devices:
- Restart your router or network switch to refresh the connection.
Update Printer Drivers:
- Make sure the printer drivers on your computer are up to date. You can download the latest drivers from the HP support website.
Check for Hardware Issues:
- Inspect for any visible damage to the printer or cables. If possible, test with a different cable or connection method.
Reset Printer Settings:
- Similar to the steps for Error 49, you may want to perform a factory reset.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
