HP Web Jetadmin - Upgrading Firmware Using HP Web Jetadmin

Instead of typing http:// in

the browser, begin by typing

ftp://.

Type the IP address of the

HP Jetdirect, a space, and

/DOWNLOAD.

Open Windows Explorer,

and locate the firmware

image file.

Copy and paste or drag and

drop the file into the browser

window.

NOTE If Telnet is disabled,

an FTP download is

not allowed. If Telnet

is enabled and an administrator password is set, the administrator password must be entered

at the password prompt to gain access to FTP download capability. The username prompt

can be left blank or can be one of four valid usernames: root, admin, administrator, or

supervisor.

HP Embedded Web Server

HP Embedded Web

Server (EWS) is another

technique that can be

used to upgrade both the

HP Jetdirect and device

firmware. EWS can only

be used to upgrade

firmware one device at a

time.

EWS can display

firmware upgrade files

that are available for

downloading and

perform a firmware

upgrade using those files.

EWS provides a link to a

page on the HP Web site (http://www.hp.com) that lists the download files that are available.

The EWS page lists the model number and firmware version of the HP Jetdirect card. If the wrong file

is chosen, the HP Jetdirect card rejects the file as invalid.

Open the Jetdirect EWS by typing the IP address of the HP Jetdirect print server in a Web browser

(for example, https://<IP address>).
