Printer has been acting insane for two days now. Initial problem was that it only printed half a page, and then would spew out several pages of wingdings. After trying to send several print jobs, it stopped printing altogether and started giving me this additional probelm.
The error code is B844FE5E. All the lights are flashing on the machine, with a command up to turn off and on the machine. The error occurs when I try to send a print job to the printer from my computer (the copier and fax still work just fine). HP's self-diagnostic tool says that there is a communication issue between the computer and printer, but all the cables appear to be connected correctly, and it was at least communicating partially before the error occurred.

Windows is absoulty notorious in glitching any time it takes a notion. There is software out there that will prevent about 80% of it too. ( freebees ) I suggest first step go to add/remove programs, dleate the program for it ( software ) and re load it. Generally this cures probleums like re-booting your computer. If it's afeeding probleum, then the rollers need to be cleaned. I use denatured achol and quality "Q" tips. If printing is the probleum, the ports in the tank feeds ecome clogged from time to time too. Same senerio there-denaturd achol and quality "Q" tips.Denatured achol doese not leave behind any resedue like other types. If after all this it still doesn't co-operate, then replacement is in order. ( if warentee is deleated ) Dancer

Hi,
I understand that the printer is printing garbage when you are trying to print from internet.
Please follow the below given instructions to resolve the issue.
This issue can occur if the data send from the application from which you are printing, is using the PC-8 character set. This will produce a smiley face or garbage charters each time an unsupported escape code is sent by application. To know the character set, please contact the manufacturer of the application.
Also, you can follow these steps to disable the power managment in the comoputer.
1. Right-click My Computer, choose properties
2. Click Hardware tab, click Device Manager button.
3. Click the + next to Universal Serial Bus Controller.
4. Right-click USB Root Hub, choose properties.
5. Click Power Management tab.
5. Uncheck the option "Allow the computer to turn off this device
to save power.
6. Click Ok.

Dear sir;I believe you can try " cold reset", that's means going to clear all data from the printer memory and sets all the defaults back to the factory settings.performing a "cold reset" resets the jetDireect configuraion. to avoid making changes to yourconfiguration, remove the jetDirect card before performing a cold reset. if possible, print a configuration page prior to performing a cold reset. this will document current settings for later reference.
to perform a cold reset;
1, turn off the printer.
2, while pressing "go", turn the printer on. COLD RESET appears briefly on the display, then INITIALIZING appears.after a few seconds, RESTORING FACTORY SETTING appears on the display, followed by OFFLINE.the cold reset is complete.
3, press "go" to return the printer online "ready " appearson the display.
Little bit complicated but is easy ,hope can take care your problem, GOOD LUCK! Let me know the resolve please!
HAVE A HAPPY HOLIDAY !!!

We have had the same problem. I have found that if I close all windows not being used on the computer, then try to print the document again the entire document prints. This happens on an older computer we have that doesn't have alot of RAM.

Well you definitely have a pc problem and not one of the printer. the printer just prints what it is sent and as you can print the alignment page that takes care of the printer.
You have reinstalled the driver but did you remove the old one first? I bet not. You should download the hp printer removal tool. Run it and after a restart then you can install the driver. Personally i would turn off the auto update feature as hp updates really mess things up.
I reckon after the reinstall the printer will be fine.
