Yesterday my printer started with the 79 service error. At first it happened every 5 minutes or so. When the error comes up it restarts by itself. Now it is basically stuck in a loop and showing the error almost immediately after rebooting.
Firmware has not been updated for sometime. I rolled back firmware and disabled auto updates after an auto update made my non HP cartridges useless last year. It had been working fine until yesterday.
I read a few posts that said to turn off IPv6. I did but it made no difference. I also turned off wifi to see if I could get it to boot clean just once. The most recent error was fatal error 200. I'm ready to ditch HP for life after this, but I need to get some orders printed while I wait for the new printer to arrive.
EDIT: After turning wifi and IPv6 off it stops rebooting. I'll try and find an ethernet cable and try that. Problem is my router is in another room.
As I type this it seems to have stabled itself now it's no longer connected to the network (wifi, ethernet or USB), but it's kind of useless like that. Any tips to get me through?
