Hi @Transcom ,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Error Code 41 on an HP LaserJet printer typically indicates a temporary print error. Here are some general steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

 

Restart the Printer:

  • Turn off the printer, unplug it from the power source, and wait for about 30 seconds.
  • Plug the printer back in and turn it on.

Check for Paper Jams:

  • Make sure there are no paper jams in the printer. Even a small piece of torn paper can cause issues.

Update or Reinstall the Printer Driver:

  • Ensure that you have the latest printer driver installed on your computer. You can download the latest driver from the official HP website.

Check for Firmware Updates:

  • Check if there are any firmware updates available for your printer on the HP support website. Updating the firmware can resolve many issues.

Clear Print Queue:

  • Clear the print queue on your computer to make sure there are no pending print jobs causing the error.

Try a Different USB Cable or Connection:

  • If your printer is connected via USB, try using a different USB cable or connecting to a different USB port on your computer.

Check for System Issues:

  • Ensure that your computer is not facing any issues. Restart your computer to rule out any software-related problems.

Factory Reset:

  • As a last resort, you can try a factory reset on your printer. Keep in mind that this will reset all settings, including network settings.

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
