Remote firmware updates

Engineering Details

The HP LaserJet 5200 printer features remote firmware update (RFU) capability. The method for downloading remote firmware updates from the Web site is similar to that used to download the latest printing-system software and print drivers.

The process for remotely upgrading firmware involves three steps:

1.Determine the current level of firmware that is installed on the device.

2.Go to the HP Web site and download the latest firmware to the computer.

3.Download the new firmware to the device.

Topics:

●Determining the current level of firmware

●Downloading the new firmware from the HP Web site

●Downloading the new firmware to the device

●Printer messages during the firmware update

●Remote firmware update by using FTP through a browser

●Remote firmware update by using FTP on a direct network connection

●Remote firmware update through a local MS Windows port

●Remote firmware update through a USB port

●Remote firmware update through an MS Windows network

●Remote firmware update for UNIX systems

●Remote firmware update by using the LPR command

●Remote firmware update through HP Web Jetadmin

Determining the current level of firmware

To determine the current level of firmware, view the configuration page. To print a configuration page, follow these instructions.

1.Press (the select button; the one with the check mark) to open the menus.

2.Press (the up arrow) and (the down arrow) to scroll to INFORMATION, and then press (select).

3.Press (up) and (down) to scroll to PRINT CONFIGURATION.

4.Press (select) to print the configuration page.

5.Look in the "Printer Information" section on the configuration page for the firmware date code. The firmware date code looks something like this: 20051002 07.000.0.
