Try clearing all previous jobs from t he hard drive- it only does File System Check when a corrupt file has been identified on the hard drive and so it is re-writing all the information from the eerom back to the hard drive ( usually a sign of a failing hard drive) suggest you order one on-line ready for replacement. (you will need a HP Z2100 hard drive from HP a standard Hard drive will not work without some tricky copying/backup proceedures.

SOURCE: ERROR 08:11 HP DesignJet Z2100 InkJet Photo

08:11 error = no communication between formatter and front panel

Switch the Power OFF from the back of the Printer and disconnect the Power cord. Reconnect the power cord and power On the Printer.
If the error persists, you are going to need a tech to do the following:-

Check that the Front Panel interface cable is not damaged and is correctly connected between the Main PCA and the Front Panel.Check that the connections between the Formatter and the Main PCA are not damaged and are correctly connected.
If the System Error continues, replace the Formatter
If the System Error continues, replace the Main PCA
If the System Error continues, replace the Front Panel

Using the front panel, run diagnostics on the SENSORS.
The media sensor or the out of paper sensor might be jammed in the wrong position.

79.03 error

you will need to contact hp support (yes in india)
Ask them to send you a .plt file, this only applies if you are able to ftp to your printer whilst in the diagnostic mode.
If ftp is not an option request an .exe file called PRNter.exe, with this you can sent the .plt file to printer through usb. 
If non of these options will work you need to request a new formatter, and like me they will charge you for the part, as hp will not take responsibility for a bad firmware update. Even when i have a screen capture vid showing being unable to download anything of the hp server at the time of a botched firmware update rendering the 3100 brocken and un fixable without a new formatter.
A two week fiasco still pending for me
hope this helps  if need any more help i am at asylum119 at hotmail dot com
