Laserjet 3550 My HP laserjet 3550 is still under warranty Will HP replace the fuser 50 1 fuser error

Hey Joe,
This is what the HP Website has to say about it:
50.X FUSER ERROR Description A fuser error has occurred. Action

1. Turn the printer off.
2. Verify the fuser is properly installed and fully seated.
3. Turn on the printer.
4. If the message persists, contact HP Support.

BUT! you can try performing a cold reset, and maybe this would help:
500, 3550, 3700, 4600, 4650, 5500, 5550, 8500, 8550, 9500) use the instructions below. 1. Turn the printer on.
2. When the memory starts counting on the control panel, press and hold the green SELECT button. Continue to hold green SELECT button until all three Control Panel LED's are illuminated and on solid.
3. Release the green SELECT button.
4. The control panel will display SELECT LANGUAGE.
5. Press the DOWN ARROW button until control panel displays COLD RESET.
6. Press green SELECT button. The printer will perform a cold reset and then continue its power-on sequence.

Good luck!

Thank you for contacting FixYa with your printer inquiry.

The 50.3 is a fuser Temperature error. If your pages have toner and image but are smudging or smearing you know the fuser is not heating and needs to be replaced.

If your printer is still under warranty contact HP Customer Care for warranty replacement of fuser part numbers: RM1-1082 for 110 volt, RM1-1083 for 220 volt. (888) 999-4747.

If your printer is out of warranty, suggest you purchase a maintenance kit part # CB388A HP maintenance kit for LaserJet P4014 P4015 P4515, includes other needed high wear parts.

The most common reason that causes a fuser error is its failure to reach operating temperature. If the fuser area can be accessed, check to see if there is noticeable heat present. If not, the fuser may not be getting the required voltage to bring it to temperature and you may need technical help to determine the exact cause of the error.

You need to ask them to change the fuser..The fuser is the part of the printer that actually melts the toner onto the page. Here is a website that gives you more info on the fuser so they can't B.S. you anymore..either the fuser works or it doesn't..

I can tell you that it is NOT the Fuser unit. I would change the drum unit first. This would be the most likely cause.

Bad or the wrong fuser installed.

Hello,
The fuser error 50 means that the fuser heater lamp is blown and you need to get another one (whole assembly). I personally use printerworks at www.printerworks.com to order a new one if you want to do it yourself, otherwise you will need to drop it off at an HP Authorized repair center..

Good Luck!
