HP LaserJet MFP M527cm Printer Firmware 2308209_000563 Description

This document contains information for the firmware revision number:
- Firmware Datecode: 20160820
- Firmware Revision: 2308209_000563

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".
- 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 functionality to allow users to cancel A3 jobs on A4 printers, mainly targeted for Pull printing customers. 

Digital Send:

- The number of allowed domains in the Email Domain Restriction has been increased from 20 to 50.
- Added a feature to show secondary credentials as soon as the user starts a job that requires credentials (Folder, SharePoint) but credentials are missing. The secondary credentials prompt should be displayed regardless of the setting "verify folder access prior to job start" is enabled or disabled.
- TWAIN scanning support on Network connected MFPs. The scan can be initiated using an HP or non HP TWAIN client application. The feature would also support 'Job Reservations' to complete the remote scan requests from the Control Panel of the MFP. 

Fax:

- Added alphanumeric keypad support for fax. 

Security/Authentication:

- Added a usability improvement for customers using certain pull print & authentication solutions (such as HP Access Control) which populate the username, domain & home folder path as attributes. In these environments if the user preauthenticates with their badge (taps first) before entering a Save to Network Folder application quick set configured with Personal Share & verify access, the device will only require the user's password.
- Added Server Name Indication (SNI, section 3 of RFC 6066) support in TLS handshake for improved compatibility in certain configurations of Active Directory Federation Service (ADFS) on Internet Information Services (IIS) 8 or later or possibly other applications.

FIXES:

Base:

- Slow printing of specific PDF files. 
- Garbled text printed on configuration pages in certain localizations have been resolved.
- 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”.
- 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.
- 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.
- Performance improvements related to non-English language usage in EWS and at device Control Panel for built-in and aftermarket solutions (such as Authentication).
- 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.
- PaperCut error "Could not connect to the Quota server. If this problem persists, contact the administrator" is seen after upgrade to FS 3.7.4.
- You may see a shrinking or slight size reduction in the body of your scanned image when performing a Copy or Digital Scan through the ADF with either simplex or duplex images.
- 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.
- You may experience a 30.01.45 error when booting or when the unit comes up from sleep. 

Digital Send:

- Reoccurring 44.01.0E errors in some scenarios when searching local fax records via address book has been resolved.
- During Send to Network folder the device fails to prompt user credentials screen when the destination is set to NAS.
- The device repeatedly prompts to add email address of the signed in user to the Address Book.
- Digital Send jobs get struck in the queue when using font DIMM loaded with higher file size.
- Resolved an issue wherein encrypted emails restricted by size were not sent correctly. 

Fax:

- Internet fax doesn’t support special characters underscore ( _ ) and hyphen ( - ) as T.37 prefix 

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 an issue where generating a self-signed certificate would fail if the system date format wasn't mm/dd/yyyy.
- 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.

About Printer Firmware Package:

Before you even consider installing this firmware, go to the system information page of the device and make sure that the version currently installed on it isn’t newer or matching this one.

If you upgrade to this build, imaging devices can get printing and scanning quality improvements, new options added to the setup menu, feature enhancements, various fixes, as well as several other changes that can boost stability.

Considering the large number of devices and manufacturers, as well as the wide variety of methods for upgrading imaging units, we recommend that you read the installation steps and initiate a firmware update process only when you have familiarized yourself with the procedure.

In addition to that, it would be best if you perform this task in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit. Also, make sure you don’t power off the imaging device or use its buttons during the installation, in order to avoid any malfunctions.

Therefore, if you intend to apply this version, click the download button, and install the package. Remember to check with our website as often as possible so that you don’t miss a single new release.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
