I have the same issue descripted by others...
My brand new printer, just plugged in, started an unrequested firmware upgrade. Since then, it falls into an initialising endless loop procedure. If I reset the printer (switch on while pressing "x" and copy button, it serms I can get rid of it. But, if I switch off and on, the loop starts again...

P.S. Mine is a M1217nfw

Hi tuohylaw,

Follow the steps below to get the printer on the newest firmware.

1. Download the flash firmware updater file Version: 20130815 to your desktop.

2. Turn the printer off and then back on to clear main printer memory.

3. Make sure the RFU setting on the Control Panel (Service -> RFU) is set to "ON".

4. Double click on the flash firmware update utility file. An HP firmware update window will open.

5. Select the appropriate HP M1530 series driver in the dialog window. If you assigned a different name to the HP 1530,
choose the name that represents the correct printer.

6. Click on "Send Firmware" when ready to proceed.

7. The progress bar will begin to move to the right indicating information being transferred.

8. DO NOT power cycle the product or the computer during this process or the product may become unstable and or unusable without further attention from HP. The flash firmware update can take up to 5 minutes to complete. Please be patient.

9. During the product flash firmware update, the display on the product control panel will display "Printing Document- Erasing - Programming - Complete - Hewlett-Packard - Ready - Initializing - Ready". Once the download is finished the printer will be in the Ready state.

10. At the conclusion of the firmware update, the dialog window will show a smiley face. Click on exit.

11. The flash firmware update process is complete.

12. If it is desired to verify the update, use the control panel reports menu under setup to print a configuration report. The configuration report will show the current firmware revision in the Product information block. If the firmware datecode is unchanged, check the RFU setting in the Service Menu on the Control Panel - it must be "ON" for a successful update.

Let me know what happens?

Does this fix (m1530) works for nf1212 MFP?

It doesnt work for 1536 (1530) either so don't get your hopes up.
