So I decided it would be a good idea to update the firmware on a P4515 before reselling it. Wrong.....
I did apparently make the mistake of doing it with tray 3 and the duplexer attached, and got the "checking paper path" message. I removed both of them, and now I`m getting "Resend Data". I`ve tried several times to do the firmware update. It completes but the message returns.
I've found a couple different threads on this but I`m unclear on whether there is a solution outside of replacing the formatter (?)
Frustrating! Since the printer functions perfectly except for that constant screen message
The update was done with the firmware utility (?). Afterwards I tried the Remote update via the web browser, but it doesn't connect and returns with an error.
Any advice is appreciated.
EDIT: In the event that I do replace the Formatter. Can some of you HP Experts give me some advice in that area, even if you don't have advice about the firmware issue.
The SM discusses replacing the Formatter and DC controller together. Does that mean they must be replaced as a pair?
Also, I'm getting some conflicting information about board compatibility. I can get my hands on a used formatter board, but it is from a P4015. Are they the same? and can it just be swapped in??
Thanks again
