Product: HP color laserjet 2605dn
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi there

I have a HP color Laserjet 2605dn printer that i am using on my home network.

My laptops are connected to the network running windows 10 OS.

The issue is that when the printer is left on and i try to print 9 out of 10 times i get the 79 error. I need to switch off the printer and restart it. This does not always clear the error.

BUT.... if i leave the printer switched off and then switch it on to print a document then it will print straight away, virtually no issues.

So, my question is that i think i may have some kind of thermal fault on one of the PCB boards.

Has anyone else come across this issue, or are you able to suggest anything that could work?

Thank you
