I own an old HP LJ4 with 2 Mo of memory.

After power on self test, the state of the printer is ready.

When I try to printer a copy, I have the error 51 but sometimes, I have the
copy. So, I don't have any idea about the source of the problem.

Likes I don't have the manual (I find this printer in a trash...), I want to
know if any one already get this message and how can I correct it.

Thanks.

Normally I would make a pitch to sell you the service manual, but
being you're from France find it somewhere else
