Hi guys
Am new in the forums but i beleive somebody somewhere has a solution for the following: a client tried updating the firmware for the above printer but ended up with the message, "Firmware corrupt Ready 2 download". Is there any combinations of buttons to press to do a cold reset?

Hi @Mst2015 ,
I see by your post that after doing a firmware update on the printer, the printer displays "firmware corrupt ready 2 download". I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
I can send you that information in a private message.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
You should always do the firmware update by a USB connection.
Please let me know if you require any additional assistance.
Have a fantastic day!
Thank You.

Hi @Ayoubi,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP can't be recovered at all that it is stuck in Firmware corrupt ready to download. I am sorry to hear this but happy to help!
Please try a hard reset, to do so, please see this post, How to perform a Hard Reset, by @Rich1. It is important that the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, and not a surge protector. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
Afterwards, try the firmware update again. If the issue is still not resolved, please call our phone support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Country-language selector.
Hope this helps!

My CP1525nw had the message "Firmware corrupt - ready 2 download

My brand-new CP 1525nw displayed the error message "Firmware Corrupt Ready to Download" after I attempted to install the ePrint drivers. I researched the issue, deleted the printer, reinstalled the driver and the firmware update will not complete. The printer is stuck on "Erasing...". Any ideas on how to fix this? Windows Vista 32, USB connection.
Thanks

Sorry. There is no solution. I had the same problem last week. The only thing what you have to is calling hp, describe the problem and if you call during the guarantee period you will get a new printer. If not, you have to buy a new one, because this device is definitely broken, they said.

I don't suppose this new update would be of any help getting my 1536 ouot of its permant display "firmware curruptready 2 download"?
I have contacted HP support with them telling me only it ismy falult for having downloaded thier firmware and that they can only give me a discount on a much bettern printer thatn I need that ould in the end cost me more than i paid for this one. They told me the issue can't be repaired but refused to pass me up the line to the supervisor who was 'unavailable" I have posted a new threadabout the 1536 but dont' much to come from it. I am currently trying to ocate my proof of purchase to see if they can extend my aranty or come up with another date for it expiration that might put me into the warranty but so far no luck.

Hi tuohylaw,
With regards to the error firmware corrupted ready 2 download, I have included the following document 'A 'Firmware Corrupt Ready 2 Download' Error Message Displays on the Control Panel in Windows XP'. With this document it should clear the error message by completing step one. If not please follow the remaining steps.
Please let me know if this has cleared the error for you, thank you.

Fatal Error 7 on LaserJet 1536dnf MFP

Model: LaserJet 1536dnf MFP
Error Messages: Fatal Error 7!
Operating System: Windows Vista 32-bit
No recent hardware or software changes
I attempted to install new firmware. Everything seemed to go fine during the install but before the install was complete "Fatal Error 7!" appeared and a few seconds later "Firmware Corrupt Ready 2 Download" appeared. I have not been able to figure out a solution. I found the following instructions (Failed Solution) but the same thing happened. I tried following those instructions a few more times with the same results.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Cannot copy or scan from ADF (autofeeder) on LaserJet 1536dnf MFP

I've been a very pleased owner of a LaserJet 1536dnf MFP all-in-one printer, scanner, copier, fax. The device is running the latest firmware, it is connected via a hard-wired ethernet connection, and I use it mainly with my laptop which is connected to the same open network via wi-fi. The laptop is running Windows 7 32-bit with the latest drivers, utilities, and diagnostics tools installed.
The problem I started running into today is two-fold:
The copier no longer produces copies when feeding one or more pages into the ADF. In other words, the pages are pulled through and the display shows the status as "copying" but no copies are produced. Also, there are no errors indicated on the display.
The HP Scan utility no longer completes scans via the ADF for one or more pages. Pages are pulled through the ADF then the HP Scan utility presents a simple "An error occured while scanning" error message. I observed similar behavior when attempting to scan via the native windows applications (photo viewer, windows fax and scan, microsoft office document scanning, etc).
Regular flatbed copying and scanning still works without a hitch for 1 page at a time. I have been using both scenarios above for over a year without any issues. There have been no software installs/updates applied to my laptop in the time these issues surfaced. I have run the print, scan, and network diagnostics utilities from HP and they all show zero problems.
I have not been able to find any relevant info for either of the issues above via HP support or third-party forums. My hunch is that these are somehow related to a device firmware / hardware / configuration issue and am hoping to find some support via this forum. Appreciate your feedback in advance!
Best,
Igor

This is the side piece that was lifted. The feed tray was removed and I manually ran one page through with the copy button. Then put the feed tray back and affter that i was able to scan multiple pages with no problems.

HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP document feeder stopped working

The document feeder stopped working. It clicks when trying to feed and comes up with the error Document Feeder Mispick, reload. I cleaned the feed rollers as per the HP video, no change. Is this something I can easily fix myself (I can open screws and lubricate parts if necessary)? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi @Solray,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your document feeder has stopped working on your HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP printer.
There are two guides available that you can follow:

'Doc. feeder jam', 'Open door and clear jam', or Other Jam Message Displays on the Printer.
If you have done all those steps already, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Country-language selector.
Hope these guides help, and have a good day!

HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP document feeder does not work

HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP document feeder does not work. I tried the suggested unplugged/plug and wait the required time but still no luck. Any suggestions? It does not even recognize that there is paper in the document feeder. Prior to this occuring, it used to say "document loaded"...now it says nothing. I do not even get an error message. It just does not work.

Hi @jdm328 ,
I see that you are having issues with the ADF not recognizing the paper loaded. I would like to help you out today.
It might be a hardware or paper sensor issue with the printer, not detecting the paper being loaded.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
I have provided a document with steps for cleaning the ADF rollers and the separator pad, to see if that will help.

Disregard the title.
Try to make a copy again.

'unable to send print data' on HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP

Hi there,
I'm running an iMac with OSX 10.6.8. Via an USB cable I have attached a HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP to the iMac.
I also use this printer to print via wifi (i.e. through the iMac) with my MacBook Pro (with OSX 10.7.3).
Suddenly today the printer stopped working via my MacBook Pro. I get an error message: 'unable to send print data'.
I have checked my antivirus etc., but that does not appear to be the problem. I have also updated the firmware of the printer, without success.
Can somebody help me out? Is the OS difference the problem? But until today that hasn't been a problem.
Thank you very much! Regards, Luc.

Hi jemenake
I understand you lost connection with the network for the Laserjet 1536 through ethernet connection.
Disconnect the routers power cable, wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the power cable. Wait till it's ready. The router might not be finding the printer on the network.
If this doesn't resolve the issue continue to the next steps.
Print a configuration report from the LaserJet 1536dnf.
Press the Setup button, (the one with the wrench on it)
reports, press OK, Config Report, press OK.
Check to see if the ip address is valid.
If you have a valid ip address then delete and add the printer on the mac, the driver might have become corrupted.
Delete printer on mac.
Click on the Apple, click System & Preferences,then click the Print & Scan icon (on some systems this may be displayed as Print & Fax),highlight your printer name and click the button on the bottom left corner of the screen.
Add printer on the mac.
Click on the Apple, click System & Preferences, and then click the Print & Scan icon (on some systems this may be displayed as Print & Fax),click add a printer, then select the printer from the list, make sure the printer listed beside use or print: shows proper printer name and not airprint, (airprint is a preinstalled apple driver with basic funtionality if on 10.8) add it in.
If the ip address is not valid please let me know.

HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP will not copy or scan but does print

My HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP will not copy or scan but does print. It does not matter if I use the ADF or the glass. When copying or scanning I get a completey black page. The light bar does move from one end of the printer glass to the other. There are no connectivity issues as the printing function and the e-print function work fine.
Thank you for your help

Hi @akb3,
I understand that when you try to scan or copy, you are getting a black page. I can help you with this.
Please keep the scanner lid open and then press the copy button.
Check if the scanner bulb glows.
Check if the scanner moves freely across the glass.
If it does not try connecting the printer directly to the wall jack and try again.
Update the printer's firmware if the bulb glows and scanner moves freely. HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf Multifunction Printer Drivers.
If the issue persists, then I would recommend to call HP Tech Support for further assistance to see what other options are available for you at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Contact HP Worldwide.

Looking forward to a reply. Thanks in advance.

Airpint cannot find HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP- Please help

I baught HP Laserjet 1536dnf a few months ago cause HP said that it is Airprint compatible. I actually went to a few stores just to get this last one in stock of the last store I visited. Till now, I still cannot get it to work and feel like a dumb buying this HP printer. If any of you or HP engineer can help ... please.
I actually did some research and testing on the configuration. There were few time that I was lucky to see the printer show up (shortly) and I can print one document and the printer is gone. Both my ipad and iphone cannot find it again afterward, even after rebooting.
I already updated my iOS to the latest version. Upgrade firmware on both Printer and my Zyxel router. Also, I replace the zyxel router with 3com (now back to zyxel). None of these help.
_Here's my configurarition._
Devices: iPhone 3GS (iOS4.3), iPad 1 (iOS4.3)
Printer: HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP (latest firmware 20110405); Fixed IP;
Router: ZyXel P-660HN-F1z (latest firmware Version: 3.70(BJI.4) | 03/22/2010)
Network Setting: All are in the same network 192.168.1.x
Would really appreciate if anyone can help me out.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thank you all, especially headsortails. Thought no one will answer this after so many months.
I actually check that link (http://gothick.org.uk/2010/05/16/getting-the-apple-iphone-remote-app-working-with-a-zyxel-router/) before but it didn't help me at the time. Now there are a few more replies that enlighten me.
I would summarize what I did as follow; for others who may have the same problem.
1. Turn off my printer HP1536
2. Since there were so many things I tried and lost track of them e.g. multicast, IP version, fixed IP address, disable firewall. First thing I did today is to reset my Zyxel router and set up things from scratch (not from the configuration backup).
3. Under Zyxel menu Network > LAN > Advance Setup, I change the Multicast to IGMP-V3. This time I leave other fields untouched, so RIP direction is set to None and RIP version is N/A.
4. Under menu Wireless LAN > Advance Setup, I uncheck the IGMP Snooping.
5. Turn on my HP printer and reboot both iPhone and iPad
Now I'm happy. I can print from my iphone, ipad, mac and PC. However, while testing, I found that sometime iphone may not found the printer if the ipad app printed something and hasn't quit. I guess it somehow lock the bonjour service. Anyway, I'll just mainly print from my ipad ... so I guess my problem is now solved. Thanks.

Reset password for HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP

I have a HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP printer that I lost the code to administrate from the front panel. I have changed my networking configuration and need to adjust the settings, however I am unable to edit anything on-device without that password. Is there a way to reset the password? or worst-case reset the device entirely and start from scratch?
Thank you,
Tom

Hi @MITP-Tom,
I see by your post that you need to reset the password on the printer. I can help you with this.
Please check your private messages for the reset for the printer.

Duplex printing on HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP

Hi,
I have a HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP. Each time I attempt to print a PDF document on my printer through Adobe Reader (duplex, 4 page per sheet, flip-up), the second page of each sheet will be printed as a whole mess of stripes instead of the intended output.
Please advise.

I have the same problem with a new, firmware updated, HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP. Curiously, two-sided printing works fine with "Paper size: Letter" whereas it fails for "Paper size: A4". For A4 paper size every second page is a mess of stripes.
