HP Jetdirect 2552A upgrade
Hi, i´ve got an HP Laserjet 5 with Jetdirect 2552A interface. The
windows firmware upgrade software (HP Download manager) says i can upgrade to firmware A.08.49 (A.05.05 now), but when i actually tries to do that, it´s over in three seconds, says it was successful but did nothing. (i switched the printer off and on afterwards, its the same old firmware.) Any ideas? I found this webpage http://www.vangeyn.net/j255x/ but the software doesn´t work on win7/64bits. Karl |

Karl You need HP Download Manager. http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/sit...4892.199480143 I honestly haven't tried it under a 64bit OS. I have used it within Win2K - Win 7/32 You might want to disable the Windows Firewall to make the software with D/L the upgraded firmware to the Print Server. There are also other ways to upgrade firmware on a HP Print Server.

HP Jetdirect 2552A upgrade
From: "David H. Lipman"
Ooooops... The actual Firmware for the J2552A is Version = A.05.05 http://ftp.hp.com/pub/networking/sof...re/a0505en.dld There is no update. This JetDirect is VERY old. From the days of 10Mb/s and thin-net ethernet. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |

From the days of 10Mb/s and thin-net ethernet. Jounger than the Laserjet 5 it is in, which is from 1995 or so. That one was originally sold with J2550A. Kid might not even be out of school yet. ;-) But i find it strange that the update software claims to have an update, but the jetdirect card knows better and that it wouldn´t fit and just silently drops it. Well, nevermind. i just hoped to get dhcp to work. Our network administration frowns on static addresses. K |

Print Servers and other appliances are best used with static addressing. One can bypass the internel P/S and use an external such as the JetDirect 300X (J3263A). It is a 10/100 P/S and does support DHCP. -- Dave Multi-AV Scanning Tool - http://multi-av.thespykiller.co.uk http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp |
