scheduled to occur at any time. Firmware update retry is also available in cases where an update failed or a
device was not on the network.
Qualifying Firmware
Qualifying rmware images ensures that rmware images are tested by individuals with permissions to qualify
images before installing and implementing them in your workplace. When rmware images are marked as
Qualied, they are listed with the column Qualied in the Firmware Repository. With appropriate permission, you
can require rmware images to be qualied by clicking Edit Properties in the Firmware Repository. If you do not
have permission, you can only install rmware images that have been Qualied. Permissions are set in
Application Management > User Security > Roles; for permissions settings, select Device Management >
Firmware > Manage Repository.
Firmware Repository and Qualifying Firmware
The Firmware Repository can be accessed from the navigation pane under Firmware (Firmware Repository
on page 213). HP Jetdirect and printer rmware images exist on www.hp.com and can be accessed in two ways:
●
HP Web Jetadmin can contact www.hp.com and display available images to users (using the Get Images
feature). The images can then be imported to the client using the Import feature.
●
Image les can be manually obtained and imported to HP Web Jetadmin by the user.
In both cases, the goal is to get the desired image(s) onto HP Web Jetadmin so that they can be used for
updating.
Qualify Feature
Images that are imported into HP Web Jetadmin can be marked as Qualied. This allows administrative control
over rmware images as they are downloaded from the Web.
Users assigned to Roles having Upgrade Device permission enabled, but who do not have Manage Repository
enabled are able to upgrade only with rmware images that are qualied (those marked as Yes in the Qualied
column). Images that are not qualied, will not appear in the list.
Administrators assigned to Roles having Manage Repository enabled, have the ability to see non-qualied
images (those marked as No) and qualied images (those marked as Yes). These administrators can use
upgrade devices with this rmware for test and qualication purposes. Once the rmware is qualied, these
same administrators can use the Edit Properties feature in the Firmware Repository to mark the rmware as
qualied. This action allows other users to begin performing upgrades with tested/qualied rmware.
Finding Images
HP Jetdirect rmware can be obtained through www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin_rmware. HP Printer rmware
images can be obtained by visiting the device specic Software and Drivers Downloads pages at
www.hp.com/go/webjetadmin_software. Devices that have rmware update capability will oer a self extracting
executable. The le required for HP Jetdirect printer rmware updates has an rfu extension. This le can be
extracted and then imported into HP Jetdirect by using Import.
