If the display panel on your HP laserjet reads "perform
printer maintenance", "perform user maintenance",
or anything along those lines it means your printer needs a preventative
maintenance kit. Once you have installed the maintenance kit the
message will only go away if you reset the maintenance count.

The Service Manual indicates you need go into the Configuration
Menu and set the SERVICE MESSAGE equal to OFF to clear the PERFORM
PRINTER MAINTENANCE message. We have found that this does not always
work (probably due to different formatter revisions). We recommend
the following procedure to manually set the maintenance count to
zero.
After installing a maintenance kit, reset the maintenance count
to zero by:
1. Enter service mode as described on our entering
service mode page.
2. Go to the MAINTCOUNT screen and press + or - to scroll the number
to zero (all zeros).
3. Press the Select button to enter the settings into the printers
memory (an asterisk will appear next to the zeros).
4. Exit service mode by pressing the GO button.
NOTE: Do not change the MAINTENANCE INTERVAL value, which is another
option in service mode. This value is the interval at which a maintenance
kit should be installed (350,000 pages on Laserjet 8000, 8100, or
8150 series).

After you install the maintenance kit, you can clear the
PERFORM USER MAINTENANCE message by going to the printers control
panel Configuration Menu and setting the SERVICE MESSAGE = to OFF.
Note: this message will only appear in the Configuration Menu if
the PERFORM USER MAINTENANCE message appears.
Once the maintenance count has been reset the "perform printer
maintenance" message won't appear again until the maintenance
interval has been reached (350,000 pages on a laserjet 5si, 8000,
8100 and 8150 series printers).
