50 Service means fuser has failed either to warm up to a temp that it needs to operate, defective heater element "reqiures replacement" of heater element. That is the most common cause of a 50 Service for a HP LaserJet 4 Plus, but also dont think that is the only cause, the power supply can also cause this. But also beware when replacing the fuser the power supply can fry the fuser, making the replacement fuser useless.

PrinterTechs I think will agree with this, they can add to this post of mine.

You can measure the ohms of the fuser resistance also, if there isnt any reading of the Ohms that means the fuser as failed.

Email Printertechs directly.

You can repair this problem by usually changing the fuser unit or changing the power supply, but in some cases you have to replace both fuser and power supply.
