Please help, I am havin this error message on my networked printer "DOWNLOAD FILE NOW RFU LOAD ERROR RESEND RFU OVER PARALLEL PORT

[Hardwareman]

I had this happen on the 4650 and was able to fix it by downloading the latest firmware for the printer from the hp web site and connecting the printer directly to a computer with a parallel cable. I think you will need a mini-parallel cable. You then go to a dos prompt and type copy /b filename.rfu lpt1 and it should load the firmware and reboot the printer when done and you should be ok. The upgrade or loading will take about 10 minutes since it is a big file. If it does not work or if you do not want to do it that way, you can order a replacement firmware chip from hp parts.

If it will not power up try removing and resetting the formatter and all chips.
