Thank you for sharing your fixes! Wow, seems like a lot of work for each of us to accomplish separately ... when HP could just fix the problems they created thru a firmware fix!

 

Would love to hear if others were able to fix their own printers?

 

Many thanks Pereg!

I am going to try to post something on their Facebook page to increase visibility of this issue. Perhaps others can do the same. I am really frustrated that the problem was caused by an update pushed to my printer and yet HP has not taken responsibility for fixing an issue they created. Not only do I have the printer but I also have multiple ink cartridges that I have purchased.

So no one has been able to solve this problem? I also have the MFP M281FDW and it hasn't worked in over a month. Has anyone contacted HP Service and gotten any help?

HP Recommended

you can do what I did. Resend error or error 49, I think that fix will take care of both.

HP finally created a new firmware upgrade for the M281fdw on December 15th.   Well....it still doesn't work.  It loads, shows it is programming, then goes back to resend upgrade.    I tried the reset rountine, did it again and.....nothing.

I sent the upgraded via USB and the jam problem still persists. HP will be liable with lawsuit

Thanks to all the community I too have the same problem on my Color Laser Jet Pro MFP M181fw even after installing the most updated firmware version (currently 20221207) I still haven't solved the problem. An even bigger problem is HP's caring, I expected more. If anyone finds the solution for my same model, please reply here, thanks in advance.

The fix to this issue can be found here https://itbacon.com/. I have done it and it took 10 minutes from start to finish. My HP M281 works perfectly now.
