Most 49 errors can be fixed by updating the firmware on the printer. Your issue is very common, especially if you just updated Adobe Acrobat. Go to HP.com and search for drivers and software. As you list 2 different printers I do not know which one you have or I would link it. Once you get to the drivers page look in the cross operating system (bios firmware) section and you will find the firmware updates here. Download the appropriate one and follow the instructions in the read me file to install. Post back with proper model number if you have issues and I will provide a direct link.

I need more info...what application are you printing from? What operating system?Windows? Is the printer directly connected to your pc? Is it wireless? Networked?

Usually in "page preferences" in the file drop-down bar. Then use "print preview" to see if the page looks OK.

Reinstall the old cartrige that you were replacing and see if it is recognized. If it is then the problem is your new cartridge not the printer. Take the new cartridge back to vendor and get them to replace it, which they should do if they are reputable.

I'm going to assume you're using XP. I've not seen this problem yet with Vista or Windows 7, which handle the print queue differently. Sometimes the print queue gets corrupted, and a job gets "stuck" and you can't delete it. You can get rid of it this way:

1. Click "Start" on the task bar, then "Run...".
2. In the "Run" dialog box, type "cmd" (without the quotes) and enter.
3. Enter the following commands as shown in the cmd.exe window that opens:

• net stop spooler
• del %systemroot%\system32\spool\printers\*.shd
• del %systemroot%\system32\spool\printers\*.spl
• net start spooler
• exit

These steps delete the corrupted print queue, so the ghost print job will be gone. (In the commands above, "%systemroot%" is an environment variable that is filled in for you by Windows. Type it as shown.)

Microsoft has a knowledge base article which suggests using notepad to put these steps into a command file, a text file with a ".cmd" extension. Then you can just type the filename in the Run... dialog box and do less typing. This is handy if you find you need to clear the queue this way more than once in a while.

Try changing the port on the router.
Also you can follow the cable from the printer to the router.
Check that the cable has not been damaged.
Replacing the cable and trying another port on your router is the cheapest option
before the HP Technicians come out.
Good Luck
