How do I connect the printer to a laptop/what is the best lead for the job.

If you are talking about a desktop / tower, you have a lead that goes from your wall socket outlet to the rear of the computer the end will be shaped like a kettle lead, in the trade we call them "kettle leads" Google image search and you will find it.
Now if you are talking about a laptop.
You have a lead that goes from your wall socket outlet to a mains charger and that's where the mains lead stops DO NOT try and plug that directly into the laptop.
Now with laptop mains leads you have three different types;
1) IEE
2) Cloverleaf ?? think of leaf with three petals
3) Figure of eight ??
If you Google image "computer mains leads"you will see the three different types including the IEE
To energise your laptop with or without a battery and after your mains lead you will need a "computer charger" or a "laptop charger"
On the underside of the laptop there will be a "rating label" telling you of the various voltages.
Or an easier way is to Google your laptop make & model
To get onto the internet you need either a Wi-Fi connection or a wired connection which is an RJ 45 plug Google the image RJ 45 and you will have your answer.
Good luck

From looking online this message indicates the following: "A critical firmware error has occurred that caused the processor on the formatter to abort operation. This type of error can be caused by invalid print commands, corrupt data, or invalid operations. In some cases, electrical noise in the cable can corrupt data during transmission to the printer. Other causes include poor quality parallel cables, poor connections, or homegrown applications."

The advice for resolving this issue is as follows:
1. Press CANCEL JOB to clear the print job from the printer memory.
2. Turn the printer off and then back on.
3. Try printing a job from a different software application. If the job prints, go back to
the first application and try printing a different file. If the message appears only with a certain software application or print job, contact the software vendor for assistance.
4. If the message persists with different software applications and print jobs, disconnect all cables to the printer that connect it to the network or PC.
5. Turn the printer off.
6. Remove all memory DIMMs or third-party DIMMs from the printer. (Do not remove the firmware DIMM in slot J1.)
7. Remove all EIO devices from the printer.
8. Turn the printer on.
9. If the error no longer exists, install each DIMM and EIO device one at a time, making sure to turn the printer off and back on as you install each
device.
10. Replace a DIMM or EIO device if you determine that it causes the error.
11. Remember to reconnect all cables that connect the printer to the network or computer.
12. If the error persists, replace the firmware DIMM.
13. Replace the formatter and calibrate the printer. See Calibrate now.

Hope this helps.

Hello and Welcome

Error 49 is usually a critical firmware error which cause the processor on the formatter to abort operation.This type of error can be because of invalid print commands,corrupt data,or invalid operations. Sometimes electrical noise in the cable can corrupt data during transmission to the printer. Other causes include poor quality parallel cables or poor connections,
To solve this try this solution step by step:

• Turn the printer off and then back on.
• Try printing a job from a different software application. If the job prints, go back to

Hi ,
One side of the lead is designed to fit on the computer , the other one on your HP unit . If nothing fits on any side , you need to go back to your retailer where a correct cable will be given to you , in exchange for the previous one .
Best regards .

49.XXXX PRINTER ERROR

To continue turn off then on

No error message will be in event log.

A critical firmware error has occurred that caused the processor on the formatter to abort operation. This type of error can be caused by invalid print commands, corrupt data, or invalid operations. In some cases, electrical noise in the cable can corrupt data during transmission to the printer. Other causes include poor quality parallel cables, poor connections, or homegrown applications. On rare
occasions, the formatter is at fault, which is usually indicated by a 79 Service Error.

1. Press CANCEL JOB to clear the print job from the printer memory.

Solution 1 :
Go to START MENU
Choose RUN
Type the letter "cmd"
Type the word "net stop spooler"
Exit
Go to C drive
Choose to Windows Folder
Click show content
Choose system32 folder
Choose spool folder
Choose printer
And delete all printing jobs pending
Again go back to CMD window and type the word "net start spooler"
Restart your computer also turn off your printer and switch it on.
It will work fine right now
I hope it helps you

Solution 2.

Check the printer driver using device manage and maybe it is corrupted. Try test page if necessary.

Solution 3.

Reinstall the printer software

Solution 4.

Check the network switch hub and maybe some loose connection.

Solution 5.

Reinstall the printer software

Solution 6.

Check the configuration of the printer is somethings not correct.
