Remote firmware update by using the LPR command
Complete the following steps to update the firmware by using the LPR command:
1. Make note of the TCP/IP address on the Embedded Jetdirect page. The HP Embedded Jetdirect
page is the second page of the configuration page printout. To print a configuration page, see
Print
the configuration page on page 261.
2. From a command prompt or in an MS-DOS window, type lpr -P <IPADDRESS> -S
<IPADDRESS> -o l <FILENAME> -OR- lpr -S <IPADDRESS> -Pbinps <FILENAME>,
where <IPADDRESS> can be either the TCP/IP address or the hostname of the product, and where
<FILENAME> is the filename of the .RFU file.
NOTE: The parameter (-o l) consists of a lowercase "O", not a zero, and a lowercase "L", not the
numeral 1. This parameter sets the transport protocol to binary mode.
3. Press Enter.
The download process begins and the firmware is updated on the product. This can take several
minutes. Let the process finish without further interaction with the product or the computer. The
messages described in
Messages during the firmware update on page 269 appear on the control
panel.
NOTE: The product automatically turns off and then on again to activate the update; this can
happen more than once. At the end of the update process, the READY message appears on the
control panel. Do not turn off the product or interfere with the update until you see this message.
4. Type exit at the command prompt to close the command window.
5. When the product is in a Ready state, print a configuration page and verify that the firmware version
has changed. Also, print the Menu map and check for settings changes.
