Resolving problems that generated messages
This section helps resolve problems that generated messages on the computer.
Messages for both Windows and Macintosh
This section lists some common errors that only provide a simple message but no information for
resolving the error. Errors that you see in Printer Status and Alerts, the HP Color LaserJet 2500
Toolbox, or the embedded Web server provide their own instructions for resolving the error. For
other errors generated by your operating system, see the documentation for the operating
system or computer.
