Hi @snb64,Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding error you're getting on your printer!  
 

The error "Ready to Download FW is corrupt" on your HP LaserJet Pro MFP M227fdw printer indicates a firmware issue, where the printer's firmware may have become corrupted or failed to update properly. Here are the steps to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

1. Power Cycle the Printer

• Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Plug it back in and turn the printer back on to see if the error persists. Sometimes a simple reboot can clear temporary errors.

2. Try Resetting the Printer

• Perform a hard reset on the printer by pressing and holding the Power button for 15-20 seconds. This can sometimes resolve firmware-related issues.

3. Update or Reinstall Firmware Manually

Since the error mentions the firmware is corrupt, you may need to reinstall or update the printer's firmware manually.

• Go to the HP Support website and search for your printer model (HP LaserJet Pro MFP M227fdw).
• Download the latest firmware update for your printer from the Firmware section.
• Once the firmware file is downloaded, follow the instructions provided on the website to manually update the firmware.
• Important: Ensure your printer is connected via USB or network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) during the update to avoid disconnection.

4. Use the HP Smart App or HP Printer Assistant

• If the printer is still functional in some way, try using the HP Smart App (available for Windows and mobile devices) to check for firmware updates.
• Alternatively, if you're on a Windows computer, you can use the HP Printer Assistant to check for firmware updates or error resolutions.

5. Try a Different USB Port or Network Connection

If you're updating the firmware via a USB connection, try using a different USB port on your computer or reconnecting to a different network if you're using a wireless connection. Poor or intermittent connections can sometimes cause firmware downloads to fail.

6. Reset Network Settings (If Applicable)

If the issue is related to a network connection, you can try resetting the network settings on your printer:

• Press the Wi-Fi button on the printer to enter the Network Settings menu.
• Choose to reset network settings or restore factory settings related to the network.

Let me know how it goes, and if you need any more assistance!
