HP LaserJet 1518ni - Firmware update doesn't do anything

Hello folks
I am trying to update my HP LaserJet 1518ni to the latest Firmware (2013-11-08 , Version20130923, 4.22M).
My current firmware datecode is: 20120110
I went here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=3422472
Downloaded the file CP1510_Series_FW_Update-20130923.exe
Turned Firewall and AntVirus OFF, ran the Executable with administrative priviliges - it says it found the printer and I see a progress bar and also the smiley at the end. But the printer is unimpressed and shows just "Ready" in the LCD, nothing changed: The files does simply nothing.
Tried it via IP Port and also USB on another PC, same effect.
What is going wrong?
Where are the good old .RFU Files I just can TFTP to the printer...?
Thanks,
Thomas

Hello @TomPe , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're experiencing firmware issues. I'd like to help!
I would recommend performing a power reset on the printer. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would then suggest downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Once you have run the doctor, try installing the firmware via this tool:
HP Color LaserJet Printer Firmware Update Utility
Also, can you print standalone? I would recommend pressing the right arrow until you see reports, press OK, select diagnostics page, and press OK.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

EFI firmware update doesn't show up?

Wondering why the EFI firmware update doesn't show up for me in Software update? My firmware is: MP31.006C.B03
Supposedly after the update its supposed to be: MP31.006C.B05
Does this mean that I don't need the update?

CapNemo wrote:
Thanks for all the replies. I guess the problem is that I haven't yet installed the Leopard Graphics update. Since everything is running so well right now I didn't want to mess with it.
So what's the story, should I or shouldn't I install the Leopard Graphics Update and the EFI Firmware update? I've never experienced the wake from sleep problems because I have Energy Saver set to "never" sleep.
It might be wisest not to, but then it's hard to say. The
firmware update might address some nasty issues we don't know
about. Or it might be targeted specifically at the reboot issue.
How can we know? There's very little information on the download page.
It's a gamble, sorry to say.
One thing: I'm not super convinced you'll need that graphics
update after the EFI update has been applied. It would be surprising
if Apple made the machines reliant on something not included with
the original install disks.
You might try this very risky (caution: possibly dangerous; at your
own risk only) thing: applying the graphics update and then manually
reverting it from a backup after installing the EFI update.
Note this though: the EFI update is essentially irreversible.
In a couple of months, graphics update 2 will likely be available, if
history repeats itself. You might wait until then, and take that risk
instead

"Software update" doesn't do anything whatsoever!

I have run "Software update" on my new Intel Mac Pro (10.4.9) successfully. Today, no matter how many times I select it from the Apple menu of Finder, the "Software update" doesn't do anything: no error, no "checking at Apple", nothing! Has anyone seen this, and what can I do to make it work again?
Mike

Go to System Preferences/Software Update, and
initiate it from there.
aha! That worked - great, thanks. Do you know why it stopped working from the Apple menu?!?
It should start working from
the Apple Menu after you do. To prove it, as SU
begins to run from System Preferences, click on the
Finder, then select SU from the Apple Menu. It should
immediately bring you to the SU window.
nope - this one didn't work. I tried clicking on it from Apple while it was "checking" and nothing happened. But after it was done checking, it did bring up the "new software is available for your computer" window.
So, it's not the end of the world since I can now run it from System Preferences, but it's kind of worrysome that it just stopped working. Also, does this mean it won't happen automatically (on a schedule)?

Laserjet 200 firmware update - "Something is bad with your device"

When trying to update the firmware on my HP LaserJet 200 color M251nw I get:
"Something is bad with your device. Device is in error state and cannot be reflashed because of this. Resolve the problem and try again.".
However the device looks ok, no errors on screen, logs, checked Web UI for hints, reboothing doesn't change the issue....
Current firmware is 20121026.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I just check the system requirement on the firmware update page, it doesnt mention MAC.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=lj-108129-7&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
Can you try updating it by conecting it to a windows PC if you have any?

Hp Laserjet CP3525 Firmware update failure

I was trying to update the firmware on an HP color Laserjet CP3525 using a USB connection using the instructions that were posted on the HP website for the Firmware upgrade. It looked like everything was going well, but when the printer rebooted it never gets past the 6/6 screen on the LED screen. I have left the printer in this condtion for several hours and it never gets past this area. I'm assuming that the Firmware upgrade caused the printer to do a hard crash and is not recoverable, but I'm hoping that someone might be able to help get this back up and working. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Well, in general if the firmware update was interrupted for any reason it would lead to this. This could be caused on the computer side (restarting/logging out/ending the process before it is complete) or in the cord that you are connected with if it is damaged in any way or not properly secured in the USB ports. I am sorry that you are in this situation, I understand that in a situation with limited spending caps you would have legitimate concerns about updating your other machines.
If you have any further questions or issues myself or one of my colleagues are on this forum almost 24/7.
I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week, Bob!

HP LaserJet P1102 firmware update freezes

HP LaserJet P1102w setup will not allow me to get the firmware update because it says I must complete all print jobs first. Only print job is the Test Page, which never printed at the end of the registration/install process.

Hey @jmg616,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're having an issue running a firmware update to your HP Laserjet Pro P1102w. I would like to assist you with resolving this issue. However, I do have a few questions for your first before I can offer accurate support.
What Operating System are you using with your printer?
What's my OS?
Is you printer connected through USB cable or Networked?
If you have a print job in your print queue, like your test page that failed to print after you ran the installation of your printer, than a firmware update won't go through. A firmware update is sent to the printer like a print job so you need to make sure that the queue is empty.
If you're using a Windows Operating System can I have you run the HP Print and Scan Doctor tool? This tool will 'fix printing' issues for you and should it detect any driver or software conflicts it will identify and let you know what the issue is. The tool will also attempt to fix the issue for you.
HP Print and Scan Doctor
Please let me know if the Print and Scan Doctor resolved your issue. Should you still be having problems than please respond with your Operating System and how your product is connected. Good luck!

HP Laserjet 4 Firmware Update

I have a HP Laserjet 4 printer and I installed a JetDirect card on it but I don't have the MIO menu on it to setup TCPIP, so I figured I needed a firmware update. But there is no firmware update listed on the hp website. Does anyone have a firmware update for a HP Laserjet 4 printer that is later than 12/14/1992. (Firmware Datecode:19921214) Thanks!

Hi. I too am looking for firmware for this printer "Laserjet 4" . I have a much older firmware installed on mine. You mentioned in your posting that you have one from 1992. Do you mind sending me a copy?

No network connection after hp laserjet m602 firmware update

After updating firmware on our hp laserjet M602 printers, the printers are no longer communicating with our print server. I can't even print configuration pages, if the Network cable is connected. The update completed successfully and I can print using a USB connection. The Event Log displays the following:
EVENT:           42.B0.01            Firmware:     23000331_377983
Description: Missing String ID: en-US: Please refer to the Jetdirect Admin Guide_Text
Additional Notes:
Before firmware update:                                            After firmware update:
Firmware Datecode: 20111217                                   Firmware Datecode: 20130722
Firmware Revision: 2131305_192069                     Firmware Revision:    2300331_377983
All Help will be greatly appreciated.... JP

Try to turn on device while network cable is disconnected (standalone) and let it completely boot till READY status.
Connect the network cable & note the front panel status (display & LED's both). Also note if the LAN port LED's are ON.
Hope that there is no data being processed by printer (data LED on control panel). If yes, then you might need to delete any pending jobs (including firmware download initiated from computer - if pending in que as a job)
If printer shows READY status without any data, then you may try printing printer internal documents using control panel menus. Next step will be to access printer through web brower (EWS page) and confirm if the device is available for use in network.

ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock - Firmware update doesn't work

Hello,
My company has bought over 200 ThinkPad USB 3.0 Docks to use with HP Folios to connect dual and single monitors. Some users have experience multiple issues with this product and I am trying to determine how to resolve these issues. I first want to update the firmware that is located here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/guides-and-manuals/detail.page?DocID=UM014961
ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock - Firmware Update - Lenovo Docking FW Update Tool V1.0
I have the USB 3.0 dock connected to the 3.0 USB port on the Folio. The unit I am testing seems to be working fine as I have dual monitors up, external keyboard and mouse are working.
I ran the .exe, a command window comes up, and it attempted to look for the device. The text is as shown:
1. Initialzation<> Success
Start Search HUB
!!!No device found!
Press any key to continue . . .
This has been tried on several devices and it simply does not work. Does anybody have any suggestions? I have contacted support which was a complete waste of time because they have no idea what I am talking about.

I'm going to return my dock if possible. My main problem is that I cannot view Vmware virtual machine which is required for work. 2nd I can't view photos on my dual screens, it just hangs saying "Loading...", but I can view them on my W520 LCD Display. 3rd, I can't view a downloaded video, as in an .mp4. I disabled the hardware acceleration in Firefox, so I can see streaming video.
I have a Thinkpad W520 and an X1 Carbon and both exhibit the same problems with the dock.
I tried upgrading the DisplayLink Drivers to the 7.x version and that created a slew of problems. The Dock firmware driver link in the OP doesn't work either. As mentioned it couldn't find the device. Uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling the stock one cause lots of problems with my W520. The dock would try to connect but it kept connecting and disconnecting and the cycle would continue infinitly. It wasn't until I did a system restore that I could get it working again to where I can use the dock again.
I am extremely dissapointed with this dock.

Laserjet 1525nw firmware update for macintosh

Printer HP LaserJet 1525 NW
OS Mac OSX Lion 10.7.2
I received an email from HP saying I needed to upgrade the firmware. I downloaded and ran the Mac installer. It crashes when it tries to download the firmware update from the internet. There is no explicit description of the error - the installer simply crashes. What am I supposed to do? I have tried repeatedly downloading the intaller in case the first copy was corrupt. The crash takes place consistently at the same point in the firmware installation process.
This question was solved.

You could try download directly from here to some removable media on another machine (in case your mac is acting up)? http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL34888/lj-86474-6/CP1520_Series_FW_Update-20111215.dmg
The above firmware update utility is for the HP Color LaserJet Pro CP1520 series.
This utility is for use on Mac OS X 10.5, Mac OS X 10.6, Mac OS X.
The utility can be used with a USB connection or network connection. Be sure to use the firmware update utility that is specific to you printer model.
This update is recommended for HP Color LaserJet Pro CP1520 series that has a firmware version prior to 20110329.
This utility updates the printer firmware version to 20110329 (March 29, 2011).
The firmware version can be found from "Setup Menu" -> "Service" -> "Firmware Datecode".

Laserjet cp2025 firmware update failure

My lasejet is USB connected and I've been trying to update the firmware to the latest version. I've done everything in the support area to get it to update but still no joy. The update runs and says it succesfully updated buy the smily face when it is done but the printer didn't do what HP says it was suppose to and verified by printing a config page. I've tried networking and still get the same results.
Anyone have any idaes as to what might the problem , Me or the firmware update?

Well, in general if the firmware update was interrupted for any reason it would lead to this. This could be caused on the computer side (restarting/logging out/ending the process before it is complete) or in the cord that you are connected with if it is damaged in any way or not properly secured in the USB ports.

Laserjet p1102w firmware update failed?

Hello,
when updating my printer yesterday the update application finished with a message claiming that the firmware update was succesfull. But the yellow printer light kept blinking.
I waited a full hour but nothing changed.
After trying to update the firmware again I got a message that the update is not possible and that I should powercycle the printer.
After unplugging the printer and restarting it the yellow light kept blinking.
Trying to update the firmware for a third time finally resulted in a message that the "firmware is already" up to date.
What now?

you can check whether the Firmware was updated by checking the configure report:
1. Open the printer driver, and then click the Properties or Preferences button.
2. Click the Services tab, and then, in the Print Information Pages drop-down list, click the Config
Page list item.
3. Click the Print button.

Firmware update doesn't see Zen Micr

I was updating my firmware (to version 2), and for some reason it hung up during the update. After a reset of the ZM, Creative products refuse to recognize that the ZM is connected. Every time I plugged it in Windows would start installing software, one of which was MTP, which hangs during installation because the ?Device did not respond in a timely manner?.
So I went into the recovery menu, and did a clean up, format, and reloaded the firmware.
Now it'ss the same thing, except I get nothing but the recovery menu. I?ve tried this on two computers now. I plug in the ZM, windows detects it and starts installing software, but Creative products (MediaSource and both firmware updates) don?t recognize that the player is plugged in. Same problem regardless of which USB2 port it is plugged into.
I?ve tried it on WindowsXP SP and Windows 2k3. I?m currently downloading new version of MediaSource for players with v2 installed, but I doubt that will allow me to flash my firmware. Only two hours left on the download......

This is the OP.
I had no luck. I found another topic about this problem here and continued posting there. Basically, I did a complete fresh install of the software and Micro on two different machines, one running Windows 2k3 and the other Windows 2000 Pro. Exact same problem on both. I have opted not to mess with it anymore, since I really don't have the time, and just RMA it back to Newegg. I got the thing to play music during work, not to spend hours looking for answers to a problem on the precious few hours I get off of work.

HP laserjet p1102w firmware update problem

HP offers an update of firmware for Eprint, nevertheless this update has a mistake since when it establishes himself and got the power off the printer, the IP gets lost in the memory of the printer and changes for 0.0.0.0. It is a mistake for HP in this offer that already I have seen in several forums for many people looking for the solution but nothing yet. Is there a way to re back to the older firmware to the printer? This is a big mistake of HP not resolved?

Hi I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post serial numbers and case details.
