    From the Firmware Readme:

    "The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time as well as the time that ittakes for the printer to reinitialize. The I/O transfer time depend on the speed of the hostcomputer sending the update and the I/O method (USB or network).The re-initialization time will depend on the specific hardware configuration of the printer,such as the number of EIO devices installed, the presence of external paper handlingdevices, and the amount of memory installed. Finally, any print jobs ahead of thefirmware job in the queue will be printed before the update is processed."

    It should not take more than 20 minutes to complete tho...

    Thanks for the response,

    have let it continue today for whole day and weird thing is that this thing keeps going on(initializing 25000).

    just wondering what could go wrong.

    Did it work after you changed the HDD? Did you test it before you installed firmware or just installed firmware before testing that the HHD fixed the problem?> Sounds like the formatter is why I ask.

    Thank you for response Wild Bill,

    I replaced the Hard drive(500gb) and it was asking for firmware (error 99:xx:x). also tried to format the hard drive in Administrator tools>Format.

    HP HDD or just a standard 2.5" 500GB HDD? Not sure if it makes any difference, but, it might.

    I had this problem once. I ended up ordering a new formatter... and that didn't fix it either. I gave up finally.

    Had a similar issue on an M4555 that had a finisher attached. I upgraded the firmware and when the unit rebooted, it just hung on the Initializing phase. Turned out the finisher that was attached was set incorrectly in the printer. Begrudgingly, I powered off the printer, removed the finisher and repowered. Luckily, it recovered and successfully completed the update. Once it was back at Ready, I powered the printer off again, plugged the finisher back in and selected the CORRECT finisher.

    I know that may not help much as this model can't accept a finisher accessory.
