HP Recommended
Product: HP LaserJet Pro MFP M148fdw

I have read through the forum, and seen and tried the fixes recommended for the error 79 code.  Nothing seems to work for me on my MFP148fdw.  If I see the error, I can clear it by powering down the printer and restarting.  Everything works fine and then a few hours later the error code is back.  Firmware is up to date with the latest version.  Power is plugged directly into the wall outlet.  there are no cables except for a phone line for fax capability.  (printer is set up for wireless).  Recently installed new toner, but it is a cartridge direct from HP, not a knock off.   

 

UPDATE

After trying a lot of different things, what seems to have solved the problem was to "reset" the printer to default values.  So far so good for my situation, knock on wood.
