HP LaserJet MFP M234sdwe Printer

Hi there, I recently replaced an empty toner cartridge with an new one which was an Original HP unit, I then had issues with error code 75, which I then found out was that the printer has to be connected to the internet at all times, not happy about this but as its out of the 30 days warranty with the re-seller I dont think HP will give me my money back now. Anyways connected it to the network and that error code went away, and now i have a flashing led power bar and the first led character is spinning round clockwise. Now when the printer gets a print job, it goes through the motions making all the right sounds until it has to pick up a sheet of paper and nothing, just stops. 

 

Any Ideas, re-installed the printer, installed it on a different PC, replaced paper etc and still the same

 

Regards dave

Hi @Daveraver,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

I understand you are facing a blinking light, andHp M234 sdwe Printer issues . Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

 

Let's perform a power drain: 

  • With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Remove USB cable, if present.
  • Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
  • Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
  • Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle
