ZeroHour Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Still doesn't seem to be working for me. I guess I will try to figure something else out. Thanks. Shoot me a pm with your email address and I will mail it for now. 1
chown Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 The HP website there is a newer version of the firmware (20101025). Just wondering if they have finally incorporated the beta version you have...into this version. What I would like to do is, if I can, get the link for the beta firmware and install that on one printer and then install the "newer" version on another. So, if you do not mind...could I get the link for the beta version please....thanks
ban_lam Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Hi ZeroHour, I have the same problems like others on my new P2055DN printer. My current firmware version is V.37.12.IR6498 from the Network Summary page. Can you please email me the download link of the beta firmware also? Thanks! Ban
drdos256 Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 We are getting some of these printers - has anyone tested the latest firmware to see if it resolves all the issues or can I please ask ZeroHour to send me the download link for the beta firmware also? Much appreciated - Thanks!
index Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Hi all I have just spoken to hp and they wouldnt admit there is an issue and that they would esculate it but this wil take about a week, there other optino they gave me was to doa the printer. I am at a clients site, brand new printer, this printer was ordered as there big one has gone down so its a temp for now, please could i get sent the beta firmware, i have tried the latest firware, drivers everything, been onsite now for 2 hours and is not looking good. much appreciated if i could be sent the beta firmware. many many man many thanks
drdos256 Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 just what I need - a delivery of duff printers I'm hoping someone can send us the beta firmware ...
index Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Our printer was ordered (after some issue) last night and delivered today with the firware of v.37.12.IR6498. I have upgraded using the latest version on the website - v37.12.IR6508 - to confirm, i have just spoken to hp and they say there is no 'beta' they can give me and the one on the site is the latest.
index Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Just throwing this in. My P2055dn goes offline afterer 30 seconds, restart print spool and its fine, 30 seconds later, offline again. Has anyone enabled SNMPv1/v2 read-only access under the 'network settings' of the webinterface, I have just enabled it, my offline issue has ceased!
ZeroHour Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Sent details to you all now I think, if you dont have any pm/reply and I will resend. 1

ban_lam Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Also, I found that the problem is on SMTP. If you disable SMTP on both the printer via the web interface and disable the SMTP of the printer driver TCP/IP Properties, the printer will never go offline. If you turn SMTP on, you will have to define the parameters in both the Printer Network Configuration matching your print driver tcp/ip configuration on SMTP. Since I don't need SMTP at home, I just disable it.

chown Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I made the following changes to the HPLJ2055dn and it seems to have fixed the problem with out updating the firmware. Setting -> System Setup -> Connection Timeout (i/O) - change to 5 Networking -> TCP/IP Settings->TCP/IP(v6)-> uncheck Enable Networking -> Network Settings ->SNMP-> click Disable SNMPv1/v2 Networking -> Other Settings -> Misc. Settings -> uncheck Multicast IPv4
bpfoley Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 could I be emailed the beta firmware? this problem is driving me nuts!
deano Posted March 1, 2011 Posted March 1, 2011 Wemhave similar issues with a HP Colour Laserjet 2320 multi function. The bloody thing will be fine as soon as you switch it on, but leave it for 10 mins and it goes offline. It's weird because we host the printer from a print server, yet if I print direct from workstations it's fine?? What is even more weird is that the drivers for any os is no longer on the HP site! Have they found the flaw?
sal-keiz Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) Zerohour, Can you please email me the download link of the beta firmware also? Edited March 2, 2011 by sal-keiz
ajg Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Hi We are also having this problem of P2055dn's going offline on a regular basis, any chance of the link for this beta firnware, thanks.
ZeroHour Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I have sent out another batch of links to you all (I think all) which should work Let me know if you have problems or dont get a PM from me.
sven Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 We have loads of 2055dn's, and every one of them works brilliantly. In printer properties, see if disabling SNMP makes any difference. We have all of ours networked, and given static addresses on their own address range. I don't think we've had a single issue with any of them, ever.

sven Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I didn't mean to sound all smug, but I seriously never realised anyone had ever had a problem with these. However, I do get the same issue with HP 1320.

However, I do get the same issue with HP 1320. My theory is its to do with a networked device sending a packet that effects the 2055's and they dont handle the exception properly. We got the fixed firmware after we sent HP wireshark logs of traffic and I suspect they spotted the crashing packet.
eeyore3301 Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I've just had a customer call in with this exact failure, ZeroHour do you still have the beta firmware link available? Thanks!

Frazer Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) New(ish) firmware on HPs website, dated 13th December 2010. Anyone tried it? HP LaserJet P2055 Printer series*-* HP LaserJet Firmware Update Utility - HP Business Support Center (P2055dn) On a side note, im getting another weird problem with these printers. Every so often when a print is sent, nothing happens, when you try to print later, the previous document comes out instead? Switching on/off sorts it out, tried replacing the drivers on our print server but no joy. Edited March 14, 2011 by Frazer
