HP 49.4C02 Error

What it means

A firmware error, the same family as the 49 service error, usually triggered by a corrupt print job or a driver problem rather than failed hardware. Clearing the queue, power cycling, and updating firmware resolves most cases.

A full step-by-step guide is on the way

We publish guides only after checking each step against the manufacturer's own documentation, so this one is still being written. In the meantime, if the code relates to a jam or an obstruction, switching the printer off, unplugging it for a minute, and checking for anything stuck resolves a large share of cases. For a hardware fault, contact the manufacturer.

Different code or problem?

Switch off and unplug a printer before reaching inside it. If a fault involves the power supply or internal electronics, or the machine is under warranty, contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician. Full disclaimer.
