Product: Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Does anyone know how to fix a "79 Service Error" on a Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw?  I unplugged and replugged all the cables and modem (several times). I have turned my printer on and off as instructed (several times).  I have also removed and reinstalled my printer.  I have installed the Firmware update also. I have tried to contact a real, live person only to get sent to a community page.  The problem seems to have started sometime when the Firmware update was originally installed about a month ago.  Can someone please help resolve this issue, or direct me to where I can find a solution?
