o HP Color LaserJet Managed MFP E57540 – Unable to install print solutions because printer cannot connect to Web Services (HPConnected.com)
Learn about an issue involving “Web Services Setup Error: Could not communicate with HPConnected.com ”
Issue: Recently manufactured E57540 printers cannot connect to HP Web Services. This causes problems installing any print solutions that require connectivity to “HP
Connected” cloud.
Attempts to enable the web services result in an error, as shown in the following screenshot.
Cause: The issue is caused by the LaserJet E57540 devices manufactured with the formatter marked with manufacturing part number B5L46 -60008 installed.
The B5L46-60008 marked formatter is a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) enabled formatter from the factory. However, the E57540 devices use a formatter with the
TPM as an accessory.
Due to the installation of the B5L46-60008 marked formatter on the LaserJet E57540 devices without the TPM, during the time of enabling the Web Services, the
firmware looks for the TPM Certificate. Since the TPM is not installed, the Firmware fails to find the TPM certificate, which results in the failure to enable Web Services
Applicable printer
This issue applies to the HP Color LaserJet Managed MFP E57540 printer series .
Resolve a "Web Services Setup Error: Could not communicate with HPconnected.com" error
Use the following steps to resolve the issue.
12-Fev.-24 Page | 7
1. Replace the Formatter of the printer with a new formatter with the part number B5L46 -67909. To replace the formatter, refer to the E57540 Service Manual:

o HP Color LaserJet Managed E78223, E78228, E78323, E78325, E78330 – Print Quality – White/Grey Spots (Issue Solution)
Learn about the workaround for a white or grey spots print-quality issue.
Security Level: Channel Partner and HP Internal Use
Issue: Print Quality with white or grey spots when printing or copying.
Example 1: front-rear image density difference
12-Fev.-24
Page | 8
Example 2: Low image density (color difference due to low density)
Cause: Frequent high humidity changes and low printing volume can affect toner inside the developing units. This causes a low -image density print-quality issue
Workaround and solution: Use this workaround for a temporary solution for this print-quality issue.
NOTE: Before applying the proof-of-concept (POC) solution, make sure that the imaging components long-life consumables (LLCs) (drums, developer,
ITB, fuser, cartridge, etc.) have not exceeded expected-life yields and are in good working condition.
POC firmware (FW) is available for printers experiencing the conditions in the above-mentioned cause to help improve this print-quality issue.
To receive the POC FW elevate the issue using the standard support process for regional ATS teams.

o How to capture Network trace though the EWS of the printer Using the HP Enterprise LaserJet Network Packet Capture (PCAP) feature:
Starting with FutureSmart firmware version 5.7, HP is including a feature that allows incoming and outgoing network traffic to be recorded and stored in the Diagnostic
(JDP) Logs. This feature can assist HP Support and Development Engineers to troubleshoot and fix issues that customers may experience due to their unique network
configuration
1. Using a Web Browser, surf to the following URL: HTTP://xx.xx.xx.xx/pcap.htm

2. Sign into the EWS using the Admin account
3. Select the desired network interface (Ethernet (wired) is the default)
4. Turn off the Ring Buffer
5. Turn off the Capture filter
6. Click the "Start" button
7. Reproduce the issue
8. Click the "Stop" button
9. Export the JDP logs and send them to us. Everything we need will be in the JDP logs (even the PCAP)
Better to open the EWS twice one with the HTTP://xx.xx.xx.xx/pcap.htm and another normal HTTP://xx.xx.xx.xx so you can run the test in the second page.

Service actions
Perform the following service actions.
1. Check that the printer has been upgraded to Firmware Version VR1.14 (001.2337B).
2. Verify that the model name belongs to HP PageWide Pro 300, 400, or 500 series printers.
3. Assist the customer to solve the issue remotely. If the customer is unable to fix the issue, proceed for an onsite customer visit.
4. Log the case under 02G OTC.
o High Priority Issues - Future Smart Firmware:
1. Hang in "Checking Hardware" after FW upgrade. Gems2.0 : when a printer is upgraded to FS 5.6.0.2 FW and boots after first time it will
hang in “Checking Hardware” , it is an intermittent Issue.
Solution: a fix was included in the firmware version 5.7 available on HP.com
2. Usage Page Print Count Resets after an HDD replacement Gems2.0: Page Counts Loss.
o HP Enterprise, HP Managed printers – Data variables reset on the hard drive or storage device (Emerging issue)
Issue:
Data variables might reset after any of the following actions are performed on the printer hard drive or a mass storage device:
• An administrator or service provider initiates a Partial Clean, Format Disk, or Erase and Unlock procedure; and/or
• An administrator or service provider replaces the hard drive or mass storage device for any reason; or
• A firmware upgrade does not fully execute, requiring corrective action resulting in a Partial Clean or an Erase and Unlock pr ocedure, and/or the
device hard drive/mass storage device being formatted.
12-Fev.-24 Page | 33
While data value resets are normal when any of the above hard drive erasure or replacement procedures are initiated, the data variable reset issue
only occurs when the printer’s Island of Data (IOD) is corrupted.
Data variables start working as expected after reset.
Applicable printers:
This issue applies to select newer HP Enterprise and HP Managed printers (A3 and A4 series).
Solution:
Follow the steps below in the order presented.
IMPORTANT: This fix that will prevent a non-corrupted IOD from becoming corrupt, however, it cannot detect or resolve an IOD that has already
become corrupt prior to updating the firmware.
IMPORTANT: Upgrading to HP FutureSmart 5.6.0.2 might cause newer HP A3 Managed printers to hang during the upgrade process. The fix for this
upgrade hang will be available in HP FutureSmart 5.7 and newer.
IMPORTANT: If an upgrade to HP FutureSmart 5.6.0.2 is necessary, it is highly recommended to use the procedure documented below to help reduce
or eliminate the chance of data variable loss if a hang occurs during the upgrade process (and/or a hard drive/mass storage device erasure procedure is
necessary to recover the device).
1. Print or capture all internal reporting pages from the printer.

NOTE:
If using a fleet monitoring software that tracks internal page information, take a snapshot of the existing page values.
2. For all remaining steps in this procedure, do not print, copy, or scan with the printer.
IMPORTANT: If during this time the printer receives a print job, or performs a copy or scan, restart the procedure. This precaution allo ws the printer to
properly store IOD values to redundant data stores during this procedure.

3. Turn the printer off and then turn it back on.
4. Wait for the printer to reboot, finish the warm up process, and then arrive at the home screen.
PRINTER CONTROL PANEL HOME SCREEN AFTER THE BOOT PROCESS COMPLETES
1. Allow the printer to sit for one minute after it arrives at the home screen and all printer motors and fans are quiet.
2. Turn the power off and then back on a second time.
3. Wait for the printer to reboot, finish the warm up process, and then arrive at the home screen.
4. Allow the printer to sit again for one minute after it arrives at the home screen and all printer motors and fans are quiet.
5. Immediately upgrade firmware to HP FutureSmart Bundle version 5.6.0.2 and newer from the Device Maintenance menu using a USB thumb drive.
DO NOT USE THE PREBOOT MENU UPGRADE METHOD.
NOTE:
The firmware can also be upgraded using the Embedded Web Server or Web JetAdmin as long as no printing, copying, or scanning is performed on
the printer before the upgrade.

o HP Color LaserJet Managed MFP E57540 – Web Services Setup Error: Could not communicate with HPConnected.com (Emerging Issue)
Issue:
On HP Color LaserJet Managed MFP E57540 devices built in 2023, there is an issue enabling the Web Services. This is impacting the installation of any print
solutions that
require connectivity to the "HP Connected" cloud.
Attempts to enable the web services result in an error:” Could not communicate with HPConnected.com”
This issue occurs only for Managed MFP E57540 manufactured from January 2023 and the label on the formatter manufacturing part number is " B5L46-
60008"
Serial number range
xxxxR11xxx to xxxxR7Zxxx
Check the 5th, 6th, and 7th characters of the printer’s serial number using the decoder table below to identify when the printer was manufactured.
The affected serial number is within the following range: " xxxxR11xxx " to "xxxxXR7xxx". The 5th, 6th , and 7th digits provi de the year, month, and date when the
printer was manufactured.
Root causes
The issue is caused by the LaserJet E57540 devices manufactured with the B5L46-60008 formatter installed.
12-Fev.-24
Page | 36
The B5L46-60008 Formatter is normally a Trusted Platform Module, TPM, enabled, whereas on E57540 devices, the TPM is used as an accesso ry.
Due to the installation of the B5L46-60008 on the LaserJet E57540 devices without the TPM, during the time of enabling the Web Services, the firmware looks for th e
TPM Certificate. Since TPM is not installed, the Firmware fails to find the TPM certificate, which results in the failure to enable Web Services.
Resolve a "Web Services Setup Error: Could not communicate with HPconnected.com" error
1. Make sure that the formatter is with the reference“B5L46-60008”.

2. If the label on the formatter shows the manufacturing part “B5L46-60008”, then remove the hard disk drive (HDD) and any other accessories
3. Order a new formatter with part number B5L46-67909.
o HP UPD - Garbage characters output when printing from Excel using UPD pcl6 (Emerging issue)
Issue
When printing from Excel using the UPD PCL6 driver (version 7.1.0) in Windows 11, garbage characters are output until the job is cancelled or the paper
tray becomes empty.
The following symptoms are present:
• The printer continuously prints pages with the garbage characters until the job is cancelled or the paper tray becomes empty.
• Excel is the only application experiencing the issue. All other applications appear to print without any issues.
• UPD PCL 6 version 7.1.0 is the only version experiencing the issue; Other UPD versions are not affected.
• Windows 11 is the only operating system experiencing the issue; Other Windows versions are not affected.
Cause
The primary cause is found to be in the PJL header for "Print Quality" having corrupt string values. The spool file captured also indicates it is generated
from Windows 10, although it is generated from Windows 11.
