Try tripling the values to see if they make enough of a difference for upgrades to succeed.

For HP FutureSmart devices that use a .bdl file for firmware, edit the file:

C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Local\Hewlett-

Packard\HPWebJetadmin\WjaService\config\HP.Imaging.Wjp.Communication.Protocol.Web.Servi

ces.IFim.config.xml

NOTE The XML file is only created after a firmware upgrade has initiated (and might have been

cancelled).

Change the BindingSendTimeout to 7200 (2 hours) instead of the default 1 hour.

If .rfu files are failing, since they

are sent to the device over Port

9100 just like a Windows print

job, many other techniques can

be used, even a command

prompt, to remove HP Web

Jetadmin from the equation and

prove that the file can be

received over Port 9100. One

common technique is to use the

PJL Config item found under

Config > Device when viewing a

single device. Any file can be

uploaded to the repository,

including a firmware file, and

HP Web Jetadmin merely opens

up a TCP Port 9100 connection

to the device and sends the file. This is identical to what firmware upgrade performs, but it eliminates

all of the version checking prior to sending and status polling after the file is sent.

Additional Firmware Upgrade Utilities

There are several alternate utilities that can be used in addition to HP Web Jetadmin to upgrade HP

Jetdirect if so desired:
