Product: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 4301fdw Printer

If anyone else has seen or knows what this code means any help would be appreciated!

 

I’m trying to print my kid’s project which has colors and a good amount of graphics (solar system) but nothing too complex and I keep getting the message:

 

PCL XL error

Subsystem: GEDI

Error: MemAllocError

Operator: ReadImage

Position: 21

 

my printer has enough memory and I’ve printed other colorful material before that are complex with no issues. I tried printing one page at a time but only the first page printed. 

I tried contacting HP support but it’s crazy they want me to pay $89 just to tell me what the error code means since my warranty expired last month.
