Firmware Revision: FutureSmart Bundle Version 3.9

Firmware Datecode: 20171213

Firmware Revision: 2308937_578490

ENHANCEMENT:

• Base: The Backup and Restore feature has been expanded to include JDI settings. Additionally, this feature has been expanded to allow creating a backup file and restoring that file to another device of the same model and firmware version as the backup file. Added support for "Any Size/Any Type" in cassette trays. This feature increases the number of allowed PIN users in the device's local address book; from 1000 to 2000. Optimized JPEG decompression library improves performance of print jobs with JPEG compressed images. A new option has been added to delete the temporary jobs after 3 days. Error code "42.B0.01" will not be displayed in the event log for end customers. Added new feature to allow PCL 6 to suppress blank pages. Previously this feature was only available with PCL5, now this functionality is also available with PCL6. Changes in power management to meet new Blue Angel regulations.
• Security/Authentication: Users now have the ability to disable printing from Help. Added two new features to improve the private and usability of retrieving stored jobs from the "Retrieve from Device Memory" application. Administrators can define what users first see when entering the "Retrieve from Device Memory" application. The default behavior has not changed, but administrators have a new setting in the embedded web server under "Security" [Tab] -> "Protect Stored Data" [Menu] -> "Managed Stored Jobs" [Section] called "Behavior when users are authenticated." If "Assist users to their jobs" is selected, users entering the application will immediately see their jobs provided a folder exists by their username (default behavior in the print driver when sending jobs) but can navigate back to the list of folders with jobs. Administrators will also note a new permission that is not activated by default in the embedded web server under "Security" [Tab] -> "Access Control" [Menu] -> "Sign In and Permission Policies" [Section] -> "Open from Device Memory application" [Control Panel Permission] for "Other Users' Jobs and Folders". If removing the permissions (e.g. for "Guest" and "Device User") a regular user will only be able to see their or guest jobs. If at the folder view they will only be able to see folders with at least one of their own jobs or a guest job within it except for the special folders like "Untitled" & "Stored Faxes". These two features can be used together to optimize the privacy & usability when users retrieve their stored jobs. Allow for nested group behavior on the EWS: Security>Access Control>Windows Setup. Nested AD groups may be configured to inherit parent permissions. Allows for authentication at devices using AD credentials instead of local device credentials via Web Jet admin. This firmware provides compatible HP and 3rd party solution software the ability to establish HTTPs communications through the Jetdirect networking interface. The protocol and encryption parameters for these solutions are now configured using the Jetdirect networking settings, allowing access to updated Jetdirect protocols and encryption. This option is available to HP and 3rd party solutions using the HttpWebRequest Class connection methods. This firmware addresses the following security issues: CVE-2005-4900– SHA-1 is not collision resistant, allowing for context-dependent spoofing attacks. Cipher suites containing the SHA-1 hashing algorithm can now be disabled by setting Encryption Strength to "High" within the "Mgmt. Protocols" page under the EWS Networking tab. These cipher suites will remain enabled/active if Encryption Strength is set to either "Medium" or "Low". Note: For devices with Encryption Strength set to "High", after installing this firmware the Encryption Strength setting will be changed to "Medium" to allow continued access to SHA-1 cipher suites.
• Embedded JetDirect: No New Updates.

FIXES:

• Base: You may see a 49.00.FF error while performing a Direct TIFF print job. Setting Legacy resolution to 300 x 300 would not be retained after a power cycle. Print job size of 400mb or more not getting stored on the device disk memory. Disk resident fonts are not persistent after a power cycle. Paper type is displayed incorrectly on control panel when using Chinese. Wrong translation of control panel buttons in Czech. Certain PDFs were not printed correctly, text on PDF was getting printed as blocks. Improved Barcode scanning. Improvement in print performance of certain PDF files. You may see an Access Denied warning when trying to access the EWS even prior to entering in a Password. Under certain circumstances an SNMP GET request might receive a slow response which exceeds all client retries and timeouts. Sometimes the printer would never respond. This fix ensures that these circumstances do not prevent timely SNMP responses. Intermixing of pages is seen when printing mopy jobs. Embedded EPrint setting intermittently shows state as "Not Supported" instead of "Enabled/Disabled" via WJA. Using the Pages per Sheet N-Up printing feature provided with any version of the UPD PCL6 driver will give incorrect printed output. You may see improvements printing certain fonts. 49.38.07 error is seen when printing certain jobs with "reverse page order" setting enabled on a device without finisher. PS Error seen when printing certain documents greater than 40 pages.
• Base: Added a Web Service object for the "Security" -> "Web Scan Auto Capture Jobs: Enable Remote User Auto Capture" feature which will allow Web Jet admin to fleet manage this setting with XTP Tickets where reservation less scanning for Network TWAIN is required. 49.4A.04 is seen when printing certain PDF files containing excessive numbers of XObjects on one or more pages. Error 49.4A.04 is seen when reprinting certain jobs from Corel Draw. The PCL commands to call barcode fonts does not work when using asterisks. 49.38.07 error is seen when printing certain PDF jobs in duplex. Color mismatch while printing certain PDF documents and selecting the CMYK profile in driver. Device stops responding to SNMP requests when we go to Device tab in WJA. USB volume name is not getting displayed correctly in Korean and other 2 byte languages. Missing graphics on pages when printing certain PCL5 jobs. Improvements in small job print performance. Display brightness value is getting reset to default on a power cycle.
• Security/Authentication: Resolved issue where aftermarket authentication agents utilizing the OXPd protocol could inadvertently remove guest permissions to tabs (e.g. the Information tab) on the EWS page. This firmware addresses the following security issue: CVE-2016-2183 – 3DES TLS/SSL Birthday Attacks on 64-bit Block Ciphers (SWEET32) Vulnerability. Re-added web services (removed in FS 3.8) to allow HP Jet Advantage Security Manager to manage the state of the Information tab in the embedded web server. Resolved redundant authentication prompts when accessing certain types of logs. This firmware addresses the following security issue: CVE-2017-2750 - Insecure Solution DLL Signature Validation. Added support for G&D FIPS-201 SIPR smartcards that are provisioned without encipherment certificates. When logging into the Embedded Web Server using Windows authentication, you may not be able to see all the tabs or options that you have been granted access to. This firmware addresses the following security issues: CVE-2017-13077: Reinstallation of the pairwise encryption key (PTK-TK) in the 4-way handshake. CVE-2017-13078: Reinstallation of the group key (GTK) in the 4-way handshake. CVE-2017-13079: Reinstallation of the integrity group key (IGTK) in the 4-way handshake. CVE-2017-13080: Reinstallation of the group key (GTK) in the group key handshake. CVE-2017-13081: Reinstallation of the integrity group key (IGTK) in the group key handshake.
• Embedded JetDirect: This firmware disables the "TFTP Configuration File" setting to prevent unauthorized device resets. Fixed "IP Address/Subnet is out of range. Check the field. IP=x.x.x.x Mask=x.x.x.x" error given when an IP address was entered with zero for the host number in the Access Control List. Buffers expanded to hold large DNS responses (70+ records). Previously only about 7 or 8 records were accepted. Trying to connect via the FTP may fail with certain applications. Fixed an issue where Windows Authentication would hang the printer. Product was generating Certificate Signing Requests with version number other than zero. RFC 2986 requires a version number of zero. Printer crashes with 81.09.00 Embedded Jetdirect Error message when user sets Admin password from Telnet. Under certain circumstances during initial power-on, the DCHP Discover message is sent without a hostname (option 81). This fix ensures that option 81 is always present when applicable. The password input for "Import Certificate and Private Key" has been expanded beyond 16 characters. Default name when saving a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) is no longer "certificate.cer". Under certain circumstances the certificate validity check performed during the IKE portion of IPsec was done with the local printer time and not UTC time. If a Jetdirect 2900w is installed and two different wired networks are connected to the printer (one on the JD 2900w and one on the Jetdirect Inside connection), then it was possible (under certain circumstances) for the entire printer to become unresponsive. This fix prevents the printer from resetting the connection during an intervention event (paper out, paper jam, etc.) when printing using the LPD protocol. Previously, the connection would be reset after the TCP Idle Timeout had expired. Now it will wait indefinitely. The firmware had trouble parsing a long list of "additional records" in a DNS SRV response packet. This fix prevents the problems which were causing the device to crash with a 49.38.07 error code. Do not respond to pings during the DHCP process (after DHCP Discover). Retry 802.1x EAP Start process if unsolicited Request Identity is received after connecting to unsecured network. IPP attribute "printer state" is not returning the correct state when printing a port 9100 job. Updates to HTTPS communications for embedded aftermarket solutions. Some SSL requests from embedded solutions would fail due to corruption of the destination URL. The Certificate Signing Request generated by the printer included three OU fields (one specified by the user when filling in the EWS form and two additional OU fields added automatically). Some Certificate Authorities accept only one OU field so the user entered field was retained and the two internally generated OU fields were removed). Printer is showing offline after registering to Google Cloud Print.

Firmware Datecode: 20160820

Firmware Revision: 2308209_000564

ENHANCEMENT:

• Base: Introduced a secure pull print job purge feature where when using a pull print solution and there is a condition on the device that requires user intervention, a job purge mode will be tied to the inactivity timeout. Job purge is limited to up to 3 jobs in the current print queue. To enable, select "Cancel Print Jobs after Unattended Error" in the devices EWS Security - General tab. Upgraded the font library to UFST 7.3.1. The focus areas are Error handling for TrueType fonts and OpenType CFF fonts. Mediatype "HP EcoSMARTLite" has been renamed to "HP EcoFFICIENT".
• Base: If the paper tray is set to "Any" size, when the tray guides are adjusted the "Any" size setting will be retained. Role-Based Access to EWS - provides ability to limit access to EWS items via defined roles. Note: If configured using 3.7.4, feature changes in next fleet release may cause some access controls to be lost. See white paper for details. Added a new menu item to turn On/Off control panel sound with 4.3 inch displays on single function products. Added functionality to allow users to cancel A3 jobs on A4 printers, mainly targeted for Pull printing customers.
• Security/Authentication: No New Updates.
• Embedded JetDirect: No New Updates.

FIXES:

• Base: Slow printing of specific PDF files. You may see devices intermittently stop responding in complex print environments. Improvement in print performance of certain PDF files. Resolves an issue where HP device with PaperCut solutions may result in users being unable to Authenticate or Pull Print. Within the PaperCut Administration Console the HP device is unable to be configured or the embedded device status reports the following error "Error: The server sent HTTP status code 400: BadRequest". A display variable was not working correctly on 4-line display devices that was impacting partner solutions. EPrint error "Could not Communicate with HPConnected.com. Some internal error happened, try again." is seen after upgrading firmware to FS 3.5.1 or later versions. Display Brightness value always reads as "0" on the Current Setting Page. A 49.38.07 error may be seen when printing PDF files using LPR. Improvement in print performance while printing certain PDFs using PS driver. PCLXL error is seen while printing PDFs with watermark. When PJL JOB START specifies a specific page to begin printing on (e.g. PAGE 20), the device correctly begins printing on the specified page. However, unsolicited PJL USTATUS PAGE responses would begin counting from Page 1 (Page 2 when printing duplex) instead of the specified JOB START page (e.g. PAGE 20). This has been corrected so PJL USTATUS returns PAGE counts beginning at the specific START PAGE. An indication that direct TIff printing was supported with the Retrieve from USB feature was missing from control panel screen seen after opening the application on the control panel. Not able to change Tray Registration settings while EWS is in certain languages. Equitrac Authentication Agent sign-in agent is missing. If stop hard key is pressed while the device is in sign-in page of any application, the device does not recover and we are not able to access any application on home screen after that. PDF bar code not printed correctly.
• Security/Authentication: 33.05.17 Security Alert seen when base filename used to package and zip files for solution bundling is too long. You may see a 33.05.18 error when using select Solution Providers software on Firmware bundle 3.7. EWS Session Id HttpOnly attribute in HttpCookie class set to true.
• Embedded JetDirect: Functionality of the TCP MSS settings in Telnet has been restored. Fixed a situation where bad network packets (invalid checksum) could be accepted and processed as if they were good. Resolved memory leaks (and possible device lockup) in DNS mapping logic when handling uncommon IPv4/IPv6 scenarios.

Current firmware revisions included in this firmware bundle:

Firmware Revision: FutureSmart Bundle Version 3.7

Firmware Datecode: 20160102

Firmware Revision: 2307781_551188

ENHANCEMENT:

• Base: Added support for printing TIFF files. Additional support added for Code128, Code 3of9, OCR-A, and OCR-B. IPP Job Mandatory attributes and Page Overrides are supported in Airprint 1.5 phase 2. The device now has the capability to directly print TIFF files from the walk up USB port. When No Media Type is specified in the job and Tray 1 is loaded and configured (ex: letter, cardstock), a prompt with the default media type is seen in the mount (default: plain). If we press "OK" then the tray will be seeded to the job size and type. If the user decides to not accept this change and selects the modify button and change the tray1 type and press ok, the mount comes back. What this means is that the user will not be able to use what is loaded and configured in Tray1 with the current job. This requirement provides the capability wherein an "Options" button is displayed instead of "OK" in the mount and once user presses Option button, he should be able to see two listings for Tray1, one with the current tray settings and one with the Job settings. Once user selects Tray1 with Job settings, Job size and Job type will be seeded in Tray1 and Job will get printed from Tray 1. If user selects any other listing it will be treated as override of Job to tray settings. The ability to include stapling of custom media types is now supported in QuickSets.
• Security/Authentication: HP SureStart - The printer's BIOS is a set of boot instructions to initiate hardware components and load the HP FutureSmart firmware. HP Sure Start validates the integrity of the BIOS, and if a compromised version is discovered, the device restarts using a safe, "golden copy" of the BIOS. Runtime Intrusion Detection checks for anomalies in system memory during complex firmware and memory operations. In the event an anomaly is detected, the device automatically reboots. If the Auto-recover feature is disabled, or the anomaly occurs twice within 30 minutes, the device reboots to a secure, offline state. Whitelisting ensures only authentic, HP firmware code that has not been tampered with is loaded into memory. If an anomaly is detected, the device reboots to a secure, offline state.
• Embedded JetDirect: Added support for new USB accessory (HP Jetdirect 2900nw). Wireless STA with second Ethernet connection. Added support for new USB accessory (HP Jetdirect 3000w). Wireless AP with NFC and Wireless Direct.

FIXES:

• Base: PCL XL error page is printed intermittently after retrieving the encrypted stored Jobs. 49.4A.04 error is seen when printing certain PDF documents using PS driver or Direct Print. 49.4A.04 error is seen when printing certain Microsoft Word documents using the Print feature in the EWS. Printing certain PDF files using the Print Feature in the EWS may result in a blank page being printed. Report pages are still able to be printed when Access Control has been locked down for those menu items. Slow printing observed when using direct PDF for scanned documents. Improvement in print performance of certain PDF files. Configuration page not printed in few localization languages (Croatian, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Catalan, Indonesian, and Thai). Improved small job performance. Device hangs in "processing" state intermittently. When printing specific PDF documents via Unix, users can get a message regarding an Invalid Font, Failed reading start X ref number. Added the ability to support more characters when defining user defined paper types via the embedded web server. 49.43.0F error seen when printing through an "Intercon" print server. Troubleshooting tab localization is wrong in German Language. Improved remote control-panel allowing access to remote operators while the initial language and date/time wizard is open for new device installations as well as some error messages.
• Base: You may see a delay in accepting data in the middle of a job or between jobs when using the Equitrac solution. HPAC15.0 does not read proximity card correctly when waking from sleep mode with OXPd1.7. When plugging in a USB cable to your printer or power cycling your device, you may see a message displaying the printer as "Unknown Device". Keyboard layout setting is changed from "English (UK)" to "Japanese (Romaji)" after upgrading FW from 3.2.7 to 3.4. Accented characters missing with univers font on 3.4. Slow printing of specific PDF files. Unable to receive toner cartridge low alert email from when toner threshold value is reached. The Esc E command is not resetting the PCL5 print environment when used with the PaperType command. Lines on page may not print when using certain PS or PDF print files. Adding a WJA Template has the potential to produce a 46.23.1C error. You may see the devices intermittently stop responding to SNMPv3 queries after 2-3 weeks of up-time. SNMP Value for hrMemorySize (OID 0.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.2.2.0) is reporting Incorrect Memory Size. Arabic words on WinForms have separated letters only. A 49.38.07 may be seen on the control panel for no apparent reason. Slow performance on PPT files.
• Security/Authentication: Home Screen Sign-In configuration (deny guest access) lost after firmware upgrade.
• Embedded JetDirect: Telnet setting "Bonjour RCNFG" reverts to zero after power cycling the printer. Intermittent system hang seen on several or all devices on the same subnet at around the same time, devices are not even pingable. Upgrading from FS 3.4 will cause Bonjour protocol to be enabled - even if it was previously disabled.

Installation Instructions

NOTE: Please be aware that an update in some circumstance may require ten minutes or more to complete.

You can send the firmware update to a device at any time; the device will wait for all I/O channels to become idle before cycling power.

Please print a configuration page prior to performing any firmware update. To print the configuration page:

1. Go to the printer's control panel.
2. Scroll down and select the Administration menu.
3. Select the Reports menu.
4. Select the Configuration/Status Pages menu.
5. Select the Configuration Page option.
6. Select the Print.

On the printed Configuration page, look in the section marked "Device Information" for the Firmware Datecode and Firmware Revision. The Firmware Datecode and Firmware Revision will look something like this:

Firmware Datecode: 20150218

Firmware Revision: 2304070_439650

The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time as well as the time that it takes for the printer to reinitialize. The I/O transfer time depends on the speed of the host computer sending the update and the I/O method (USB or network). The re-initialization time will depend on the specific hardware configuration of the printer, such as the number of EIO devices installed, the presence of external paper handling devices, and the amount of memory installed. Finally, any print jobs ahead of the firmware job in the queue will be printed before the update is processed.

NOTE: When the update process has completed, the LaserJet will need to be rebooted. Once the printer is back online, print a Configuration Page and verify that the new firmware has been installed.
