Error 79 on Laserjet 3330

Our neighborhood lost power during a snow storm. When power was restored my fax machine revealed an Error 79. I shut off my machine for approximately one minute thinking that it would reboot itself. Did nothing but show Error 79 again. I tried a soft reset by pressing Menu/Enter and then simultaneously the * button and the # button to enter the menu it would not go any further than the Error 79 message. The machine would not allow me to go into the menu.

The only fix I have used is a cold reset there is a firmware upgrade you can try if this does not work.
TRY THIS:
Turn the machine off and unplug for 1 minute or so.
Plug the unit back in:
Press and Hold the enter/menu key and asterisk key
Turn ON
Hold the enter/menu key and asterik key while the unit powers up. Once you see the message "Permanent Storage Initialization" let go of the keys.
Hope this helps

SOURCE: won't fax or receive

You need to check the cable that goes to the wall.. Make sure it is plugged into the plug on the printer that says "line" or "wall" if it is plugged into the one marked phone... it will most likely not work.


After that (if it doesn't work) go through the setup procedures the manufactures manual has for that model

If you lost it your in luck HP has everything you need here:

A solution:

  • Unplug
  • Hold down "*" & "enter/ menu buttons"
  • While holding down both buttons, turn power on
  • Wait until something like "initialize" shows up on the display
  • Let go of buttons
  • Wait until display reads "ready"
  • Unplug for 10 seconds, then plug back in
  • Hope it works for you

suspect either worn ADF(automatic document feeder) pickup roller or there is a jam in the ADF unit where the paper feeds to the scanner.

When looking thru the menu of the printer, I got a "79 error" readout with a scrolling "power off - power on" readout as well. The printer/fax/scanner is totally frozen. Tried...

The 79 error is an internal firmware error.
www.hp.com
Download the firmware. The printer has to be ready to install it.
If you can't get it to READY, you will have to get a firmware recovery DIMM from HP.
Or try a local printer repair shop.
Because this is an old printer, you may not be able to get a recovery DIMM.

Firmware error. Unplug the power cord. Wait 30 seconds. Plug it in, power it on. If the error comes back, you will have to upgrade the firmware.

My 3330 says scanner bulb is warming up then it gives me a error 79 message no ,matter how many times i restart it

The error 79 on that machine means that the scanner assembly has failed to align/calibrate. Could be due to a bad calibration strip on the scanner glass, have you ever sprayed glass cleaner directly onto the scanner glass? If so this can stain the calibration strip and render the scanner useless. It is probably best to have the machine serviced by HP.

I have an hp laserjet 3330 copy/fax machine and it keeps saying power off, power on, power off, power on...It doesn't seem to have a power switch but I've unplugged it and plugged in back in but the...

The scanner is either worn out or just dirty. If you can remove the top glass you can gently wipe the mirrors and lenses with a Q-tip and clean the white strip on the underside of the glass. If that doesn't help the lamp is just worn out not putting out enough light. Parts are not available for that so it could be time for a new machine.

Error 79 ...shuts off and the screen says error 79

Hi angelahender:
Here is your problem.
79 Error
PowerOff>PowerOn
The product has experienced an
internal firmware error.
Disconnect the power cable from the
product, wait at least 30 seconds, then
reconnect the power cable and wait for
the product to initialize.
If the error persists, upgrade the firmware.
Firmware update via flash executable
The configuration page lists the firmware version of the product. On
flash-memory-based products, you can update the firmware code by
downloading the latest flash executable for the product and running
the program according to the readme instructions that come with it. If
the firmware should become corrupted or fail (usually because of an
interruption when attempting to update the firmware), the product will
no longer function. In this case, a firmware recovery DIMM is
available from HP.

Hope this helps

Laserjet 3330 is resulting in fax Comm Errors 327, 232, 442, 356, 421 Comm Error 327 is always with fax # 780.467.6516. i can not fax to this number and when i receive from it, it always prints a Fax...

232-A communication failure has occurred between the two machines.
327-*Reattempt the fax reception at a different time when telephone line conditions have improved. Call the telephone provider if line conditions fail to improve.
356-The remote user has pressed the Stop key, causing the session to be aborted.
442-An error occurred during transmission after one or more partial pages had been sent. The transmitting machine was unable to restart the control channel (handshaking) before sending more data. This error typically occurs when the receiving fax disconnects after receiving part of a page but can also occur if the receiving fax is using a fax format that is incompatible with the HP fax machine (usually during color faxing).
