Pulled this printer out of trash.  Found error in the subject line and proceeded to use this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8duYjUs_MU to pull the transfer belt from machine.  Used a vacuum with soft bristles to clean surfaces and then carefully blew out assembly getting a lot of loose printing dust out of machine and clearing sensor.  Replaced transfer belt.  Tested over weekend and it worked without error.

I now have a laser jet 🙂

Step by step guide on how to fix this common issue on both the M477 MFP and the M452 base printer model. The error starts usually as intermittent and goes away after rebooting the printer but eventually will end up in a permanent error. If you have one of these models it is only a matter of time ...

The 59.F0 fix is to upgrade the DC controller firmware. You have like 50 posts on this error, no tool is needed for repair.

As @Valsimot states, typically this error requires a DC controller update to cure it for good. Glad to hear the cleaning worked but I would check the engine controller firmware version listed on the the configuration page and is it is  14xxx revision update it as well.

Not everything is firmware related and I did check if the machine is running the latest firmware.  Sometimes the machines just need a good cleaning.

It is not the standard firmware, it is the engine controller firmware, just to clarify. Known defect acknowledged by HP.  If your controller version does  not match below, I suggest you update. This based on over a hundred printers I have serviced with this error.

Ok, I'll find the link for the firmware update somewhere and apply it if needed.
