Yosemite and Printer error 79.00FE

Just upgraded to Yosemite and now I can't print on my Hewlett Packard Laserjet 8150n.


All I can get is "Printer Error 79.00FE" or "Printer Error 79.01FE".


Any ideas?

Good question, John. Thanks.


Printer works fine (like always) printing Excel page, Microsoft Word page, this page from Firefox, QuarkXpress page.


I only got the error when trying to print the page of an email from Apple about a product at the Store. Other email prints fine.


Isn't that just bizarre?


I printed the page as a PDF, and when I tried to print that, got the 79.00FE error again.


So the only thing it doesn't want to print is the email from Apple. But when I take a screen shot of the email, I can print that (but not a PDF).


Whew! I thought bad things had happened. (I remember the release of System 7 back in the old days, a six-month nightmare.)
