Remote firmware update by using the HP Printer Utility
Make sure that you have the tools and files that are necessary for the update. You will need the
HP Printer Utility and the 5200FW.RFU file, which is the firmware file for the device. The HP Printer
Utility is a software program that is available only for Mac OS X V10.2.8 or later.
The HP Printer Utility can be found on the HP LaserJet 5200 printing-system software CD-ROM that
came with the device. If you do not have the CD-ROM, you can obtain the HP Printer Utility by
downloading the latest device installer from
www.hp.com/go/lj5200_software.
The firmware file (5200FW.RFU) can be downloaded from the following Web site:
www.hp.com/go/lj5200_firmware
After you have the firmware file and the HP Printer Utility, you are ready to begin the update process.
Complete the following steps:
1. Open the HP Printer Utility.
2. Select Update Firmware, click Choose, browse to firmware upgrade file, and then click Open.
3. On the Update Firmware screen, click Update.
NOTE You might receive an error message on the screen indicating that the printer is
offline. Verify that the printer is turned on. If it is, ignore the message. The Updating screen
appears and the update proceeds as expected.
4. The update process can take several minutes. Let the process finish without further interaction with
the device or the computer. The messages described in the section
Printer messages during the
firmware update appear on the control panel.
NOTE The device automatically turns off and then on again to activate the update; this
can happen more than once. At the end of the update process, the READY message
appears on the control panel. Do not turn off the device or interfere with the update until you
see this message.
5. Print a configuration page and verify that the firmware revision number matches the revision of the
current update.
