Updating Jetdirect Firmware ??

[Mike3d]

Hi i have a problem with a jetdirect card.

the problem is i cant get it to connect to the network and when i do a configuration test page i get the following.

*****************

Hp jet direct - j2552b
Firmware Revision - a.05.05
Lan Hw address - 0060b003a2ef
Port Select - 10base T
Mfg ID - 3627000703010317

================================
I/O CARD NOT READY : 57
Incomplete f/w Must download


then a bit further on in the page i get

novell status - Disabled (i want this disabled)

Apple talk - Not in use (also dont want this)

Tcp/ip - Not in use (I want this have enabled on the printer menu)

==================================
DLC/LLC Status - not in use


*********************************

"I/O CARD NOT READY : 57
Incomplete f/w Must download" what does this mean ? i kinda think it is something to do with the firmware not being installed properly.

so from what this is saying it means that i need to update(install) the firmware but the only way i seem to be able to do this is using the hp download manager which only wants to use a network connection.

my question is can i update the firmware through the parallel port ?.


the printer is a Laserjet 5 si/mx



hope this makes sense mike

You should be able to use the printer's control panel (hardware) to enable TCP/IP and/or assign an IP address. This should go along way towards correcting your problem. You'll need the printer manual to do this.

thanks for your reply.

in the printer menu i have enabled tcp/ip but i cant configure the ip address on it i dont have that option.

Here is the configuration page of the printer look at the hp mio (this is the jet direct card config).

notice the error message about the I/o card ?

sorry bout image quality but had to make smaller so i could upload it
