hi.
1. Went to;
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?
During installation printer displayed: "firmware corrupt ready 2 download"...... and it still does.
2. hp laserjet dnf 1536 mfp
3. Windows 7 Premium with most recent updates and service packs (not at the pc now).
4. USB and hardwired network.
5. See paragraph 1. Don't have printer at moment but do not recall any flashing light but I believe there was a solid yellow ight on.
Sincerely hope you have the solution. Thanks for replying.

Thank you. Will do. Do you think it is fixable? Also if you need to send me a private email my email is no longer comcast but verizon. I made the change in my profile but don't know if it took effect yet. Look forwaard to working with you. hope I am not getting my hopes up for nothing. Already started looking at Brother and Canon replacement possiblilities. That would be th first time i did ot have an HP printer if i do have to make the change.
