If one or more toner cartridges are installed incorrectly, this may result in a 54.2 carousel rotation error. This error is typically accompanied by a loud grinding noise. NOTE: The carousel is the rotating part under the top cover to which all four print cartridges attach.
An Er/04, Er/05, or Er/06 error message indicates paper is jammed inside the printer. To resolve the issue, find and clear the printer of any jammed paper, or reset the printer if the printer has no jammed paper.
An Er/26, Er/30 to Er/79 error message indicates that the printer is in an error state. To resolve the issue, press the Start Color Copy button or the Start Mono Copy button to continue.
An Er/02 error message indicates that the toner cartridge door is open or not closed completely. To resolve the error, open the toner cartridge door, and then close it completely.
Recommended action. Turn the printer off, wait 15 seconds and turn the printer back on (using the power switch located on the back of the printer). The error code should not appear again.
The four standard cartridges would be present attached to a rotating device called Carousel under the printer cover. The issues with the carousel rotation and the misplacement of the cartridges upon the printer devices would result in issues with the printer device called as printer error 54.2.
This typically means the toner cartridge is binding up internally. Remove the black toner cartridge and look at the right end of it to find a couple of white plastic triangular pieces sticking out.
The 59.40 is a “fuser rotational error“. Meaning the fuser was unable to rotate causing this error.
59 error could be a bad motor or Developer motor rotation error. Remove all toner, power cycle the printer, and re-install one at a time, closing the access door each time before inserting another. See if one of the supplies seems to trigger the error.
If one or more toner cartridges are installed incorrectly, this may result in a 54.2 carousel rotation error. This error is typically accompanied by a loud grinding noise. If the printer isn`t making the noise with the toners all out, then it may be one of the toners causing this issue and making the noise.
Your printer display or status monitor may read “Fatal Error”. This simply means a problem has occurred requiring action to clear.
A 49 error typically occurs when the printer attempts to perform an action that the firmware is not capable of performing or might not be designed to handle, for example: Printing files that include unsupported printer commands. Interfacing with a third-party solution that was not designed to work with the printer.
If you see this error code 50.5 on an HP LaserJet 4200, 4240, 4250, 4300, or 4350 series printer, the fuser installed in the printer is registering as an incorrect fuser for that model printer.
The printer experienced a black drum motor M3 error. 59.05. 50 Black drum motor startup abnormality.
1. Paper Jams. Paper jams are a common problem for printers, resulting in time-consuming and frustrating delays. It can occur when loose sheets of paper get stuck in the rollers or feeding mechanism of the printer.
59.70 is a black developer motor failure. If unit is still under warranty contact tech support and get it repaired. If unit is out of warranty you will need a developer motor RM2–7344–000CN.
The 59. F0 has been a common error code on the HP CLJ M452 and M377 / M477 MFP models. The printers service manual references this error to a “drum motor assembly” but in most cases has been resolved by replacing the Transfer Belt assembly (RM2-6454).
This error is primarily caused by one of the following conditions: A transfer alienation failure in which the ITB is stuck and unable to properly engage the internal transfer rollers. The SR9 sensor (the primary transfer roller disengagement sensor) has gone bad. The fuser drive assembly has failed.
This error is primarily caused by a transfer alienation failure in which the ITB is stuck and unable to rotate, the SR9 sensor (the primary transfer roller disengagement sensor) has gone bad or the fuser drive assembly has failed.
This is a main motor startup error. In other words when the motor is supposed to turn it can not and gives the error. I have seen this with other printers and sometimes it is not the motor that is the issue.
Select Start , then select Settings > Devices > Printers & scanners . Under Printers & scanners, find the printer, select it, and then select Remove device. After removing your printer, add it back by selecting Add a printer or scanner.
This error code occurs when the Dpcdll.dll file is missing or corrupted.
90 or 59.00. A0 Error resulting from a registration assembly and/or paper feed assembly that is jammed/stuck.

Error Code 51.1 says Printer Error No Kidding.lol
ANSWER : Sometimes turning off and on will allow you to print a few pages. The error is a beam detect error. The only real fix is to replace the laser scanner unit. Could be a loose connector on the scanner or DC controller from the scanner. That’s unlikely. You could try the only other free fix which is to open the scanner assy. and clean all the mirrors inside. The dust could obstruct the laser beam enough to cause the detect error.

Error Code 52.1M
ANSWER : Magenta laser error. The spinning motor bearings cause the squeal and that slows it down causing the error. You could try opening it and lubricating the motor shift with a drop of synthetic lubricant. Do not use more than a drop.
