Remote firmware upgrade
The HP LaserJet 8150 series printers are the first to feature a remote firmware upgrade
capability. The method for downloading remote firmware upgrades from the
http://www.hp.com Web site is similar to that used to download the latest printing system
software and printer drivers. The Web site features an “Email me when new software is
available” option that sends e-mail when a new version of printer firmware is available.
Also, if you used HP WebReg to register the HP LaserJet 8150 series printer, HP will
send you e-mail notifications of new firmware releases.
The process for upgrading printer firmware remotely involves three steps:
1. Determine the current level of firmware installed on the HP LaserJet 8150 printer.
2. Go to the http://www.hp.com Web site and download the latest firmware.
3. Download the new firmware to the printer.
Determining the current level of firmware
To determine the current level of firmware installed on the printer:
1. Go to the printer control panel.
2. Press Menu until INFORMATION MENU appears on the control panel display.
3. Press < Item > until PRINT CONFIGURATION appears on the control panel
display.
4. Press Select to print the Configuration Page.
5. Look in the section marked Printer Information for the Firmware Datecode.
The Firmware Datecode will look something like this:
