A critical firmware error has occurred that caused the processor on the formatter to abort the operation.

This type of error can be caused by invalid print commands, corrupt data, or invalid operations.

In some instances, electrical noise in the cable can corrupt data during transmission to the printer.

Other causes include poor quality parallel cables, poor connections, or specific software programs.

99 % of time it is a corrupt file or poor connection, I have also known it to be the firmware, dimm or formatter board on rare occasions.

Recommend check hp web for any firmware updates, check connections and that driver is installed impecablly and use known good files to test.

Hp Laser Jet 4350dtn network printer is showing Service Error 49.4C02 how do I fix

Does it occur on any print job or one in particular. If it happens with one job, that job has a problem. It isn't the printer.
If it is all printing go the www.hp.com. then go to "support and drivers". Then select your printer, select your operating system, select firmware. Upgrade your firmware. Make sure that you read the instructions and DO NOT touch the printer while it is upgrading.
If the firmware upgrade completes and the errors continue, you will need to replace the formatter.

HP Color laser jet 4700n 49.3048 service error

The problem is usually caused by printing a PDF file with fonts/page size/ page formating errors which will cause the printer to display the 49.3048 error. The only way to use the printer is to POR or recycle the power and delete the print job from the server or spooling device and cancel it on the printer before the offending command is issued to the printer again. You can try updating the firmware to the latest version 46.140.5 from the HP website. MIke L.

Hi 123sha:
49.XXXX
PRINTER ERROR
To continue
turn off then on
A critical firmware error has
occurred that caused the
processor on the formatter
to abort operation. This type
of error can be caused by
invalid print commands,
corrupt data, or invalid
operations. In some cases,
electrical noise in the cable
can corrupt data during
transmission to the printer.
Other causes include poorquality
parallel cables, poorconnections,
or home-grown
programs. On rare
occasions, the formatter is at
fault, which is usually
indicated by a 79 Service
Error.
1 Press CANCEL JOB to
clear the print job from
the printer memory.
2 Turn the printer off and
then on.
3 Try printing a job from a
different software
program. If the job
prints, go back to the
first program and try
printing a different file. If
the message appears
only with a certain
software program or
print job, contact the
software vendor for
assistance.
4 If the message persists
with different software
programs and print jobs,
disconnect all of the
cables to the printer that
connect it to the network
or computer.
5 Turn the printer off.
6 Remove all memory
DIMMs or third-party
DIMMs from the printer.
7 Remove all EIO devices
from the printer.
8 Turn the printer on.
9 If the error no longer
exists, install each
DIMM and EIO device
one at a time, making
sure to turn the printer
off and on again as you
install each device.
10 Replace a DIMM or EIO
device if you determine
that it causes the error.
Try new network card
