My HP CP4025 printer gives me the 49.FF04 error message. Here is what I have already done to try to fix:
- cleared all print jobs, restarted pc
- turned printer off/on
- unplugged all cables going in/out of printer
- installed new formatter board
- restarted pc and printer after new formatter board installed
I have gotten the printer in the ready state once, but once I printed, received the error message again. Cleared this error message by turning printer off/on and clearing print jobs.
Any time I try to calibrate or do any of the other menu options for maintenance on the printer, I end up getting the 49.FF04 error.
Can anyone advise on what steps to take next?

A couple of things that are not clear that you need to do:
1. does the printer come to ready if there is only a power cord attached?
2. Have you ensured that the firmware is the most current
3. have you ensured that there are no stale print jobs spooled anywhere.
