If you are encountering the 79.00 FE Printer Error on your HP 5100 printer, it means that there is a communication error between your printer and computer. You can try out the following steps to get rid of the problem:

Step 1: Disconnect the Printer

To start with, disconnect the printer from the network or computer to ensure that it is not receiving any unsupported jobs. This will help to prevent it from processing error-filled jobs.

Step 2: Restart your Printer

Next, restart your printer by switching it off and unplugging it from the power source. Leave it for a couple of minutes and then plug it back in and switch it on.

Step 3: Clear the Print Queue

Now, clear the print queue on your computer by deleting all the pending print jobs. This will prevent the printer from picking up jobs that may trigger the 79.00 FE error.

Step 4: Install Latest Printer Driver

Download and install the latest printer driver from the HP website. Ensure that the driver is compatible with your operating system.

Step 5: Check for any Hardware Issues

You may also want to check if there are any hardware issues such as a faulty cable or a malfunctioning network interface card. If you find any issues, replace the affected hardware.

Conclusively, the above steps should help you to clear the 79.00 FE error on your HP 5100 printer. However, if the problem persists, contact an expert or HP support for further assistance.

The 79.00 FE error on an HP LaserJet 5100 printer typically indicates a firmware error or a problem with the print job being sent to the printer. Here are some steps you can try to clear the error:

Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source. Wait for a few minutes before plugging it back in and turning it on again.

Check if the printer is connected to a network. If it is, disconnect it from the network and see if the error clears.

Check for any print jobs stuck in the print queue. If there are any, cancel them and try printing again.

Update the firmware of the printer to the latest version available. You can download the firmware from the HP website and follow the instructions provided to install it.

If the error persists, try removing any third-party DIMMs or memory modules installed in the printer. If the error clears, the problem may be with one of the memory modules.

If none of the above steps work, it may be best to contact HP customer support for further assistance.

Locate the on/off switch on the bottom of the printer.

Toggle the switch to the off position and COUNT to 10.
Turn the printer on again and the system should be all set.
