Hardware Error 0502 Dell A940
My printer will print beautifully and after a couple of copies will register Hardware Error 0502 and then prints only top couple of lines. If I turn off everything and unplug it, it copies well again a few times. then a repeat of the problem again. Can't find anything relating to this error. Help?

Must be specific as they are both functions of a 960 and they are not the same action for the system.

If you are going to follow his advice and get a new printer, I would like to have your old one to experiment on and see what the real problem is, better I dissect it than the landfill get another
