Many of the modern LaserJet printers don't use JetDirect cards and just have the network port directly soldered onto the main system board (called the formatter assembly). Replace the JetDirect card if needed we have JetDirect cards here on our JetDirect page. You can test "around" the JetDirect network card by connecting to the printer via an alternate connection like a USB or parallel port, and see if the same jobs print ok when you bypass communicating through the network card. If you're unfamiliar with drivers, see our tutorial here: Installing printer drivers tutorial.Ī faulty JetDirect network card can also trigger a 49 error. Finding the right driver can take a good bit of experimentation. Try downloading & replacing with a different driver we usually recommend PCL5 drivers and PostScript drivers (not PCL6). Faulty drivers can send bad data to the printer, cause confusion and trigger the 49 error. In those cases, it's very possible that a mismatched or corrupted driver has been assigned to the printer. Try to remember if the 49 error only occurs during certain print jobs (for example only when printing from custom software or only when printing a certain document that is more complex or memory-intensive than average). Second, a mismatched or corrupted driver can cause 49 errors. Then you can reconnect the network/computer cable and try printing again. Turn the printer off, unplug the printer from the network/computer, clear any pending jobs from the print queue (on the computer), then reboot the printer to make the 49 error disappear. Here are some tips for resolving 49 error codes on HP LaserJet printers.įirst, the general advice is to assume it's a temporary error. Also, these errors can be just temporary errors that clear with a reboot, or more permanent errors that actually require a hardware replacement. They can be hard to troubleshoot as quite a few culprits cause 49 errors.
The 49 error codes on HP LaserJet printers are communication error codes.
