HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw

My Color Laser Jet Pro MFP M283fdw printer is 5 years old. It started turning off and won't turn on unless we unplug it for 5-10+ minutes then plug back in. Is there a fixx? Do I need a new printer?

I have come across this issue a couple of times and it can be either  bad power supply or a bad formatter. Unfortunately, the diagnostics available on consumer level products is not very good and beyond trying different parts I have not come across a method to narrow it down further.

It really depends on parts availability. Some parts on consumer products are just not available, except as a used part. Actual installation is pretty straightforward. You can refer to this KB article on finding and buying parts: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-Knowledge-Base/How-to-find-replacement-paper-trays-or-any-oth...
