E525w error
Printer says ready to print. Evertime I try to print I get an error. Earlier it had said it was out of paper, witha fulltray in the printer. I took an air can and sprayed up inside the paper area and the back door of the printer. Still no luck. I mdon't knowhow to tear it apart. Any recommendations?

If you have the model number correct, it's on the operator panel:

From the manual
Hardware Self-Test (Power-On Self-Test)- Power Off & Disconnect: Turn off the printer and unplug all data cables (USB, Ethernet, etc.).
- Power On: Reconnect the power cable and turn the printer on.
- Print Settings Report: If it completes without errors (POST), use the control panel to print a settings/configuration report. This checks basic printer functions.

Unfortunately, E525w has this common issue.

Hold the 2 and 6 buttons while powering the printer on. Once the self-test begins, you can release those buttons. Does the printer pass the self-test and output a demo page?
