I had exactly the same problem this morning at 5am, although mine is a slightly different model. its the M281

It seems this is not an isolated issue as there appears to be many others who have had the same problem over the last week or so.

I solved mine by doing a factory reset.

No idea as to what has caused this issue for so many of us.

This appears to have been related to the (now defunct) Google Cloud Print. We had to restore defaults on some of our printers today also: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printers-Knowledge-Base/Error-79-on-HP-Color-LaserJet-Pro-M280-M281-Mu...
