fact that a firmware update was not successful. As a side note, in general we don't see much value in firmware updates and we recommend end users do not perform firmware updates http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c00848148 unless absolutely necessary. It's rare that firmware updates actually solve problems, and during the update, the file transfer can actually fail which leaves you with error messages like this. So we recommend you avoid firmware updates unless an experienced printer tech advises you that it is absolutely necessary. Possible solutions: 1. Try sending another firmware update Again, we're not big advocates for sending firmware updates, http://www.printertechs.com/printer-troubleshooting/414-rfu-load-error-resend-rfu-message-on-hp-laserjet-4240-4250-4350 but sometimes resending a fresh firmware update will clear these messages. If you're going to attempt a firmware upgrade, you should be experienced with computers and familiar with entering commands via a command-line DOS prompt. If you're not familiar with this process, you may want to skip to the next step, which is simply replacing the formatter assembly (see below). To upgrade the firmware, first download a firmware file and the ReadMe help file from HP's Web site. Depending on the printer, there are 2 or 3 ports available to send a firmware upgrade, so choose from parallel port, USB port, or network port/FTP. If the update fails, resending the firmware update through a different port may help; sometimes it doesn't help at all. 2. Replace the formatter The simplest step would be to replace the formatter assembly itself, which is the main logic board in these HP LaserJet printers. Fortunately, replacing the formatter is very easy to do on these models. Click below for ordering information and installation instructions.

So I saw this printer lying on its side at a http://www.mitchellenright.com/2014/06/26/fix-error-downld-file-now-send-rfu-upgrade/ friend's house so I asked him what was wrong.. "Oh, I think it needs a firmware update, but no one has been able to fix it" he responded. Firmware you say?? Sounds easy-peasy to me so I told him as much with that smug smile we IT guys are so good at. He told me to take it and fix it if I could…"It'll be another hp laserjet article for your blog" he said, to which I retorted "Not likely! If it's a firmware update then it's gonna be a one-and-done with the firmware utility…printers don't usually lend themselves to interesting problems." I was wrong. Once stuck with this error, the printer goes into a loop which would make most people tear their hair out. In fact, my buddy had already bought a replacement download file now and written the thing off for the scrap heap before I even was aware of it. But I digress. Here is what worked for me: Turn the printer on and then plug into the USB port Add the printer using an HP driver such as the HP Laserjet 4100 PCL 5 (make sure you name the printer "Hewlett-PackardHP LaserJet USB Upgrade" **note the exact string includes no space between Packard and HP** Run the firmware upgrade utility and select that printer from the dropdown. It should run the upgrade no problem. Before I hit on that combo I tried a couple other solution suggestions from partial info on various websites. If the above doesn't work for you then feel free to try them as well. This includes: http://www.vanguardsys.com/whmcs/knowledgebase.php?action=displayarticle&id=216 The fix in the first paragraph threw me because it sounded so good but just didn't work for me despite multiple tries. My solution above is actually a much stripped-down version of the text that follows that first section…follow it if you want/need a step-by-step. http://www.printerhacks.com/fixing-the-dreaded-rfu-load-errorsend-rfu-upgrade-on-cp3505-using-a-mac/ This appears to be a good solution for MAC judging by the high # of comments praising the writer.
