I have an HP laserjet 4000N. When I print the event log how to I translate what the error means. For example a 13.1.50. From my understandings the 13 is a paper jam, 1 is from tray one, What does the 50 stand for.
I keep getting repeat paper jams with this error. I have looked on HP's web site but cant find this error. Any advice?

I've seen that error before and ordered a printer maintenance kit to fix it. I think (but since I cannot find documentation on it, i cannot be sure), that the 50 relates to a general error condition.

The particluar printer issue was resolved by replacing all of the rollers that comes in the printer maintenance kit... but since the fuser also placed a streak of toner down each page (and the printer in question was way overdue for fuser replacement -- like 50,000 pages)... we replace the fuser too. The printer (I'm told), is as good as new.
