Hi @Patrice15,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Error 75 on a laser printer, such as the HP LaserJet M139 or M142, typically indicates a problem with the paper feed or paper path. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.
Check Paper Tray:
- Ensure that the paper tray is loaded with the correct type and size of paper.
- Make sure the paper guides are properly adjusted to fit the paper size.
Paper Jams:
- Check for any paper jams in the printer. Open all accessible areas and carefully remove any stuck paper.
Printer Rollers:
- Clean the printer rollers. Dust and debris on the rollers can cause paper feed problems.
- Consult your printer manual for instructions on how to clean the rollers properly.
Paper Quality:
- Use high-quality, undamaged paper. Damaged or poor-quality paper can lead to paper feed issues.
Paper Sensor:
- Check for any sensors in the paper path. Make sure they are clean and not obstructed.
Power Cycle:
- Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, and wait for a few minutes. Then, plug it back in and turn it on. This can sometimes resolve temporary issues.
Firmware Update:
- Ensure that your printer has the latest firmware installed. Check the HP website for firmware updates and follow the instructions for updating.
Check for Obstructions:
- Inspect the entire paper path for any foreign objects that may be causing the paper feed issue.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
