I've answered this in another thread but here goes.

49.4c02 == "bad postscript headers"

The badness is actually HP - the standards allow for 4096 characters of headers but HP's implementation of postscript only allows for 1024 characters.

I notified HP about this problem in 2003 and they promised to fix it, but have failed to do so. Subsequent notifications have gotten nowhere.

End result: Perfectly compliant PS knocks HP printers into odd states.

If you're lucky, they crash with the error above. If not, they may invert all the character bitmaps or empty out every piece of paper in the input trays (I've had all 3 happen).

Solution: Don't buy HP if you need to print PS. Problem solved. (HP has lost around 2.5 million dollars of business from my employer as a result)

Workaround: If you're stuck with HP, only send PCL6 to the printer. It's possible to do some massaging with CUPs if you are in a *nix environment but it's a lot trickier than it used to be. In any case, HP devices don't give the best print quality and are far more expensive to run than competing products. (TCO is often 100% more than competing products over 100,000 pages. On cheaper HP printers It's often cheaper to dump them and buy a new one than it is to buy new ink - even taking into account that HP usually supply "1/2 tanks" on new printers)

Printer error code "49.4c02" is one of them. It occurs when there is corrupted data. This may confuse the printer, and it stops functioning. In other cases, the data is corrupted while being transferred to the printer. Some printer models are naturally prone to this error because of their driver, while others can display this error while printing a specific font. http://www.fixya.com/support/t6031482-hp_laser

49.2f9d error hp laserjet 3005dn how to solve the problem

Most times a 49.xxxx error on an HP printer is caused by either the print driver, firmware or the print job itself.

If it happens when printing a PDF file try sending the file to the printer as an image.

Upgrade the print driver and the firmware.

You may need to disconnect the printer from the pc or network, power it off and pull the plug for a couple of minutes to clear the error.
If it's a network printer it would be a good idea to check the printer queue for any jobs still in it and delete them before powering the printer up again.
