Can't start firmware update in c258

[blackcat4866]

I have a handful of 2GB Centron USB2.0 sticks that I use for almost everything. The Centron sticks were misprinted with some logo that I cannot recognize, so I got them cheap. They almost never fail. I've had two of them die after daily hard use. One took a trip through the washing machine. When I inserted it in the PC it said that the drive was "dirty"! I can't imagine why? It's as clean as I could get it.

I have two 8GB sticks for the HP Pagewide XL firmware (massive: 7GB). I've also got some ancient 100MB & 250MB sticks intended for early digital cameras. When possible, I always use the smallest stick that will still hold the whole firmware file. =^..^=

im glad we dont have the CF cards anymore.

we use to use ISW to load firmware on CF card models because it always worked and we kept losing the cards or the card reader lol.

I like using ISW at runup in workshop but havent been able to get it to work since the 4 series required u to attract the files instead of leaving them as a tar file

Yes, maybe i'm thinking of a Ricoh course, been on so many different manufacturers over the years.

However I do pull the LAN if working on a Bizhub in a busy office, it stops the users printing when i'm trying to access CE mode!

Yes, definitely something I tend to do as well. Nothing like attempting to get in and just as you are entering the pass code, someone sends a job and locks you out.

If IT is onsite I tell them to set print cue to offline. I've had sites that if U don't do this jobs get jammed in cue.

Most IT don't allow Manage permissions so asking 10 lawyers to do something "technical" is impossible
