HP laserjet 4200 - display panel is off

After changing the printer cartidge, the error 49 FF01 continued to appear on the display panel so, as suggested on the internet, I turned the power off and then turned it on again. The problem was, after turning the power back on, the display panel is completly off and now the printer appears as offline on my computer. Can anyone help me please? Thanks.

So what is the average expected wait time for a response here?  My printer has been sitting in pieces on the floor for 12 days now, with no response with even a hint of a suggestion from anyone.  I'm guessing at this point I should just write this website off as a loss and try and find some other help forum?

  • Printer prints but display says Communication lost (device - control panel); Turn off then on.

    HP Color LaserJet CM3530fs
    The printer is printing when asked to do so by a computer but the display says:
    Error
    Communication lost (device <->  control panel); Turn off then on.
    The orange attention light is illuminated and the display is always lit and shows the statement above.
    It does not improve when switched off and on or power disconnected for long periods or pushing reset button at rear of unit.
    Embedded web server works normally and thinks that all is ok.
    Buttons on control panel do nothing.  eg. I cannot photocopy or scan.
    The printer is about 2 years old but gets very light use in a family home.
    Please help
    Thank you.

  • Laserjet 6040 control panel blank

    We have a couple of 6040 MFP's that now have the same fault, when they are powered on the display panel will light up but nothing is displayed and we are unable to use webjet admin via the NIC. However if you leave the printers off for a couple of days and then turn them on they will often work ok (the display is fine and the nic is working again).
    We have checked all the connections to the dispaly so I'm guessing its a hardware fault - has anyone else had this?

    Hi Bulldog_Cymru,
    I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community,  as the HP Laserjet 6040 is a commercial model.

  • LaserJet 4200 won't collate in Windows 7 32 bit

    Love my sturdy LaserJet 4200.  But now that the computer is upgraded to Windows 7 32 bit, we can't get it to collate.  Many computer savvy people have worked on it and no one can solve it, and unfortunately this is a pretty important issue to us.  It looks like other people in this forum have collating issues and no one seems to have been able to come up with a solution.
    Do we need a driver update?  I don't think so, but...  I have seen the recommended steps for using Windows Update to get a driver.  There are many for 4200 but they all seem to have a date of 2006 (pre-Windows 7).  I am currently using driver HP LaserJet 4200/4300 PCL6.
    Are there any other suggestions?  Or is this just a bug we have to cope with/consider getting a new printer?  Thanks for any help.

    I had the same problem with a LJ 4200 installed on Windows 8.1.
    I downloaded the Universal Print Driver for PCL5 from HP at: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=84030&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4132.
    Download the PCL5 driver (not the PCL6) and save the file to a folder where you can find it quickly.
    Then:
    1) Turn your printer ON (make sure it is connected to the PC) and open Control Panel in Windows;
    2) Click on "Add Printer"
    3) When the Add Printer window opens - do nothing until the search completes - then DO NOT select any of the printers in the "Select a Printer" box - instead, click on the prompt at the bottom of the window that says "The printer that I wanted isn't listed" - this will open a window titled "Find a Printer by other Options" - Select the last option at the bottom of this  window titled "Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings" and then hit NEXT.
    4) A new window opens titled "Choose a Printer Port" - select the port where you printer is connected and hit NEXT.
    5) A new window opens titled "Install the Print Driver" - DO NOT chose any of the printers  listed, instead click on the HAVE DISK button.
    6)  An "Install From Disk" window will open - at the bottom if this window where it says: "Copy Manufacturer's files from" click on BROWSE - then navigate to the folder where you save the PCL5 Driver you downloaded and click on the file name - it should highlight a file in the "File Name:" box at the bottom of the window - mine was named:  hpbuio120l.inf  (if not just open the folder and select the driver named: hpbuio120l.inf)
    7) After you select the driver file in the step above, hit OPEN - the INSTALL FROM DISK window will open - Click on OK and the driver will install the new Printer.
    Once the new printer is installed - go to Control Panel, open Devices and Printers, right click on the new Printer (make sure it is Set As Default) then from the same Right Click Menu select "Printer Properties" and scroll down to "Mopier Mode" and make sure it is disabled.
    You should now be able to print collated copies from the LJ 4200 without any problem whatsoever.  Good luck.

  • Hp Laserjet 4200, Printer Virus or Software Failure?

    Have been using a HP Laserjet 4200/4300 series, very few issues, very good printer. 
    Background:
    Small office, this printer is attached to my computer but able to be used by 4 other machines on the network.
    We are using everything from windows ME to Windows 7 xp.
    What happened:
    all day long we were printing & by the afternoon it just stopped.  At that time only 2 computers had sent in print requests.  Mine was sending Page prints of gov web sites using the latest version of mozilla firefox  and I am running Windows 7 xp and the 2nd was sending Word Perfect docs and its on XP.  In going through the Que, the printer says they all now have unspecified errors and will not print.
    Printer/Proterties/General - print test page
    Will not print
    Hardware/Menu/Print test, cleaning, Menu map.. all print
    Device is Working
    Paper is full
    Ink is in
    Since then I have cleared the Que and sent several different types of things to print from all different types of programs.. the print manager say they all have errors.
    So.. Printer Virus or Software Failure?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
    thank you for reading.  Sorry for not being more technically savvy.
    Please ask for any details.

    Just got off the phone with a friend (who is a  lot smarter than I) and recommended turning off the printer, then truning it back on and holding down the mainuser button (the one with the check mark) and letting the printer do its thing.
    just printed the test page..  so good news there.  Still not sure what exactly happened..

  • HP Photosmart c309 display panel

    My HP Photosmart c309 printer display panel does not show the menu it only shows the hpwith a circle around it and the power button blinks on and off.  I can't do anything using the menu display on the printer.  I have tried uninstall and reinstall, turning the printer on and off, new ink but nothing works.

    Please try to unplug all the connection to the printers such as power adapter, USB cable.
    Let the printer stand alone about 10 minutes without any connection.
    After 10 minutes, connect with the power and switch on the unit.

  • EPM 2013 Report is displayed as cut off and shows less than half the width of the report in IE 10 and IE 9.

    EPM 2013 Report is displayed as cut off and shows less than half the width of the report in IE 10 and IE 9.  This issue occurs for some users only.I tried the same url in google chrome and is working fine.
    Can you please help.
    Please find the attached screenshot.

    Hi BJ1986,
    According to your description, I think this issue is caused by the IE browser that runs the report. To trouble shoot this issue, I suggest that we can try to clear internet temporary files, cookies and others in IE browser. And also add this site
    as a trusted site in IE browser to check this issue again.
    If this issue is still existed, it can also be occurred due to the setting or third party add-ons of Internet Explorer (IE). In this scenario, you can try to run IE in compatibility mode to check the issue again. Or I suggest that you can refer to the
    steps below to troubleshoot the issue:
    Click Tools -> Internet options.
    Switch to the Security tab, click Local intranet, and then select Default level.
    Switch to the Advanced tab, and click Restore advanced settings.
    Temporarily disable third party add-ons. For detailed steps, please see the link below:

    Hope this helps.

  • Re: OSX Lion printer problems with HP Laserjet 4200

    I have updated the driver for the HP LaserJet 4200 series printer to ver. 18.2. The computer communicates with the network, via a Linksys Wireless-G printserver, WPSM54G, and is sending something to the printer, but the printer prints only what appears to be identifying information, then raw code. Has anyone else had this problem? I use this OSX with three other printers, two of them wireless, with no problem.

    Just found an email HP Support sent to me back in January 2008, about this issue
    "Hello Hunter,
    Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.
    There currently is not proper driver for 10.5, so it is surprising that the printer is printing correctly on your Mac from any application.
    Your issue cannot be resolved until the 10.5 driver is developed and released.

  • Printing error on Laserjet 4200 PCLXL with Adobe Reader 8.1.2

    While printing on our HP LaserJet 4200 with Adobe Reader 8.1.2, here is the error printed by my printer:
    PCL XL error
    Subsystem: KERNEL
    Error: IllegalOperatorSequence
    Operator: SetPageScale
    Position: 3
    I use PCL6 driver and if I use the PCL5 one, I only get a portion of my 11/17 pdf. The PS driver seams to be OK. I didn't have this problem in Adobe Reeader 7.0.8. And I don't have this problem on older LaserJet printers (4000 or 4100) or newer's (4250).
    With PCL 5 or Post Script, it kinda print, but Adobe Reader is not able to get the write size of paper. If I have a 8½/14 or 11/17 document, It can only print in 8½/11 correctly unless I go in printer properties and select manually the size of paper that I want to print on (or the size of the document). I can't keep that resolution because it's to difficult for most users and that they'll keep asking why their document doesn't print in the format it was built in.
    Also, with PCL6, when I choose the write size of paper in the printer's properties, it prints correctly.
    I tried to update the driver on our server, but the paper type of all our 4200 switched to "Etiquette" and we didn't want to pass on all our computers to reconfigure it back to "Normal paper". I also tried to update the firmware on another of our 4200s, but the problem persisted.
    Can you help me to find out what's going on in Adobe Reader 8.1.2 and how I can solve that problem??

    Hi,
    We are also struggling with the same problem after upgrading the portal to NW04s SPS15.  It is consuming 2 to 3 min for opening the PDF form in ESS under Travel & Expenses.
    We are also with same version of Adobe i.e.8.1.2
    Still waiting for the solution, 
    Regards,
    Venu

  • HP LaserJet 4200 Printer outputting blank page (with creases) before printing

    HP LaserJet 4200 Printer
    Keeps outputting a blank page, with creases in the paper (about the middle of page), before it prints the intended page.
    This happens at random, but quite often. We have been using this printer for years without any issues. This has been happening for about the last few weeks. 

    Hi have the same problem with my HP LJ4200.
    The problem is intermitent , blank page with with creases before the document
    Have you found a solution ?
    thanks !

  • HP LaserJet 4200 -- manual feed tray not working after 10.6 install

    Hi all...
    One of my users pointed this out to me. I'm looking for confirmation (or a solution)?
    We have an HP LaserJet 4200 printer added to our mac clients as an IP printer. Under 10.5.8, printing to "Tray 1 (Manual)" goes where you think it would -- to the manual feed tray.
    Upgrading to 10.6.1? Manual print jobs are going to the internal "Tray 3".
    It's the same behavior if I use the 10.6.1 "5.3.0" printer driver or the HP Printer Update 2.1 updated "5.4.0" version.
    Can anybody else confirm/deny the problem with their 4200 printer under 10.6? If you can confirm it, do you know of a fix (short of rolling back to 10.5.8).
    A remove and readd of the printer did not help here. Unfortunately.
    Thanks!
    - Steve

    Resolved this two ways:
    1) the "gutenprint" driver worked.
    2) The larger problem was the manual tray had been set to "A4" size.
    I used the web admin interface to set this to "any size" and "any" type and that fixed the problem with the 5.4.0 "LaserJet 4200 Series" default printer driver...
    Luckily, somebody else on campus had one of these printers and we were able to compare the printer setting differences to figure this out.
    I hope this helps somebody!

  • A document page opens that is too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor

    How do you fix a problem where document pages open that are too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor? The borders are off the monitor so there is no window edge to grab and adjust.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Display colors suddenly off - all black objects red or red glow

    Suddenly, display colors went off. The cursor arrow is now red. Script displayed on browsers is now black with red hue and overtone. Pictures all "glow" red where they are supposed to be black. I did consciously change any settings. Short of a "clean install," how can I restore the original color display settings, or could it be another problem?

    Hello stepheneng,
    Have you checked in System Preferences>Displays>Color tab for settings there? Is your normal Display Profile selected? You may want to try calibrating by clicking on the button found in that pane and see if you can improve your display.
    hope that helps some,

  • Retina display wakes in high resolution / breaks Displays panel

    Hi all,
    Yesterday I used my new retina MBP with an Apple TV, mirroring its screen up on the AppleTV for a presentation. Since then, whenever I wake the MBP (I have its Energy Saver settings set to sleep the display but not the computer after a time), it wakes in super high res with tiny tiny tiny text (this may be 2880 x 1800 but I can't tell, but it's higher res than the highest setting the Display panel offers you). 
    Then, because I want to reset it to something readable, I open the Displays panel, and click Best for Retina or such, and it doesn't change. None of the resolution settings do anything. The Display panel is not entirely broken, because the GUI functions, as in, highlighting different options I choose, but there's no reaction.
    To fix it, I've found I can go into the menu bar icon (rectangle with triangle under it, the AirPlay icon), set the MBP to Airplay mirror to itself (which strikes me as an odd option to have available).  This changes the screen to something pretty low res with letterboxing at top and bottom, and asks me for a Airplay password for my own system. I say Cancel, and then my Displays panel works again, and I can select Best for Retina.
    Any tips? Seems like a bug.
