Repairing the 55.XX.YY DC Controller Error on the HP P3015 Printer

 

Troubleshooting Aids for the 55.XX.YY DC Controller Error on the HP Laserjet P3015 Printer

While the 55.XX.YY DC Controller error can seem like an over whelming  problem, it doesn’t have to be. With a few tips hopefully we can help you figure out which device is causing the error and you can fix the problem without too much trouble.

First thing you can try is to  turn the machine off and back on. If that fails I usually recommend turning the machine off, unplug the machine and let it sit 20 to 30 minutes. During this time you can clean the machine up a little and I would  also check to see where it plugs into. Make sure the device is plugged straight into a wall outlet to make sure you are getting the right voltage and amps. I believe the main problem I have  with machines is not really a voltage  issue like most think but an amp problem like what you get in old car batteries. You check the voltage and it looks good but when you check the amps they are usually way down which in fact is what is causing your problem.

Ok now that you have checked for power issues it’s time to move on to extra devices. You would want to remove accessories like extra paper trays, additional memory, and jetdirect if you have them. Make sure the machines unplugged first. Once you have any extra accessories removed turn it back on. If the machine works then unplug and reinstall the   accessories individually turning it on after each time. Really process of elimination. Once you find the  defective part, time to replace that part.

If the machine past the engine test with the formatter out we know we have a formatter issue. If the printer still fails with the formatter out then time to replace the DC controller.
