  1. How to Fix Initialization Issues from Firmware Updates on HP LaserJet Printer

  2. Introduction This ppt is a complete and the ultimate guide for you to understand how to fix the major initialization issues in HP printer that occurs due to the firmware updates. The instructions will apply to both old and the new version of HP LaserJet Printers.

  3. What do you need to do? Check these requirements before updating the firmware: HP recommends you contact the vendor of your third-party solution to ensure the current firmware is compatible with it. The speed of the computer, the connection type to the printer, and whether there are any print jobs pending in the printer queue will determine how long it takes to complete a firmware update. A network connection or USB cable is required to update the firmware. A passcode or administrator privileges might be required for some control panel menus.

  4. Follow these steps before you update the firmware: Things to consider before updating the firmware Check the control panel for any error messages and clear them. The printer should be in Ready mode and not in sleep or power-saving mode. Any changes to the nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) that might warrant a firmware update should be backed up. After the update, these settings might revert to the new default settings, so they must be reconfigured. The Readme file contains a list of settings that might be affected by the firmware update.

  5. Make sure the host computer is fast and the printer's hardware is configured correctly. This is affected by the hardware configuration of the printer, including the number of embedded peripheral devices, external paper-handling devices, and/or fax capabilities if applicable. It is an I/O transfer time that determines the elapsed time for an update. This includes the speed of the host computer and the method of I/O (local port or network), as well as how long it takes the printer to re-initialize.

  6. Print a configuration page Steps to Fix these Issues Get the IP address and firmware level by printing the configuration page. You can select Administration or the Menu icon on the printer control panel. Click the INFORMATION button. You can find this menu under CONFIGURATION/STATUS PAGES. You can also print the CONFIGURATION PAGE option. You can print the document or click OK. Determine the current firmware level by looking at the "Device Information" section on the printed configuration page. Firmware date codes will look like this: 20040322 48.001.0.

  7. Download the Latest Firmware On HP.com, the HP LaserJet firmware download contains the printer firmware, embedded JetDirect (if applicable), and HP paper handling accessories that work with the printer in one convenient file.

  8. Make sure you know what the current firmware version is for your printer, and compare this to the firmware version on your printer (see the configuration page). • Alternatively, you can download the firmware directly from the printer's download page, and then extract all files • Ensure the printer is turned on and ready. • Make a note of where the .rfu file is located.

  9. Update the Firmware You can update the firmware remotely for a single printer or for multiple printers simultaneously using HP Web Jetadmin 10.4 SR2 or later. Each of these steps takes a different amount of time- based on the size of the printer firmware files and the server's resources. HP recommends that while firmware upgrades are running, you keep other HP Web Jetadmin tasks to a minimum because it is a resource-intensive process.
