Download

Overview

Why ?

Do you have computer hardware (printers ...) with no firmware inside ? These devices needs their firmware each time you switch on. But if you use this hardware on special "boxes" (router, printserver ...) you can have problems.

Example:

Printer: HP LaserJet P1005 (no internal firmware)

=> HP product page

  • you have to load the firmware after switching on
  • you have problems when the printer is not connected directly to your machine / connected to printer server (samba, cups etc.)

Function

Upload your firmware to printers etc. over TCP/IP

Usage

Configuration for FirmwareUploader inside "config.txt"

server IP address / host name of server
port Port number of server
file Firmware file name *)

*) for example: "sihpP1005.dl" (for HP LJ P1005)

Start

Installation (setup) of FirmwareUploader places a link inside windows autostart folder => automatic startup when windows start

"upload.exe" looks inside your configuration and transmit the specified firmware file to box / server.

Testing

If you selected also "testing" during installation you can check the transmission before.

!!! Please don't change server + port (localhost / 91000) for testing !!!

Please start first "test_server.exe" which opens a console window. Then start "upload.exe" which transmit your firmware file to the local server => a file with extension "" should be saved in programm folder.
