LJ Pro MFP M227fdw
macOS 10.13 High Sierra

Yes, I know this question has already come up, but since the fix requires a special zap to the firmware, I need HP to send it to me! (Looking at old posts doesn't get me the fix.) And I need to do any downloading from my Mac, not Windows.

 

Problem: My MFP M227fdw says on start up "Ready 2 Download fw is corrupt." 

As I said above, I know what it means, please send me the fix.

Hey there! @PrinterBroken1

 

Try the steps recommended below.

 

Reset the printer

 

Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.
Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 60 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
   NOTE:
HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.
Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

 

If the issue still persists try performing an NVRAM reset on your printer and check if it helps.

 

As the steps to perform an NVRAM reset is confidential and dedicated to your printer. I will share the steps through a private message.

 

Please watch your inbox for more information.

 

Let me know how it goes!

Have a great day ahead! 🙂
