I was recieveing a firmware error on one of our HP LJ 4515. So I downloaded 04.201.2 firmware updated the printer, and the error went away and went to ready after the printer restarted. Then I noticed that printer was greyed out in the computer. So I printed a config page and saw the ip did not change. I tried pinging it, and got no responce. The chanced options from manual to DHCP to see if maybe somthing chance in the closet. (Was by mistake upplugged then replugged into the wrong stack) I know that was a long shot, but anyways still nothing. So I swapped the printer with a diffrent one, so at least the dept the printer was installed would be able to print, and brought the printer to my office to look at it. First let me add, those printers are heavy, so it is a pain to move. But then I plugged in in my office it pulled a new address, and I still cannot ping the darn printer. Then I reset the printer back to factory sdetting, thinking maybe it was the firmware that hosed it up. Still nothing. I am getting the light on the nic, so I really don't think that is what is wrong, but at this point I am ready to tear my hair out with this thing. Has anyone seen this issue after updating the firmware? Before I tear the printer apart I just want to look at all options.
