HP Fleet Bundle Version Designation: FutureSmart Bundle Version 3.9
ENHANCEMENT:
Security/Authentication:
➢ Users now have the ability to disable printing from Help.
➢ Added two new features to improve the private and usability of retrieving stored
jobs from the "Retrieve from Device Memory" application. Administrators can
Page 11
define what users first see when entering the "Retrieve from Device Memory"
application. The default behavior has not changed, but administrators have a new
setting in the embedded web server under "Security" [Tab] -> "Protect Stored
Data" [Menu] -> "Managed Stored Jobs" [Section] called "Behavior when users
are authenticated. If "Assist users to their jobs" is selected, users entering the
application will immediately see their jobs provided a folder exists by their
username (default behavior in the print driver when sending jobs) but can
navigate back to the list of folders with jobs. Administrators will also note a new
permission that is not activated by default in the embedded web server under
"Security" [Tab] -> "Access Control" [Menu] -> "Sign In and Permission Policies"
[Section] -> "Open from Device Memory application" [Control Panel Permission]
for "Other Users' Jobs and Folders". If removing the permissions (e.g. for "Guest"
and "Device User") a regular user will only be able to see their or guest jobs. If at
the folder view they will only be able to see folders with at least one of their own
jobs or a guest job within it except for the special folders like "Untitled" & "Stored
Faxes". These two features can be used together to optimize the privacy &
usability when users retrieve their stored jobs.
➢ Allow for nested group behavior on the EWS: Security>Access Control>Windows
Setup. Nested AD groups may be configured to inherit parent permissions.
➢ Allows for authentication at devices using AD credentials instead of local device
credentials via Web Jet Admin.
➢ This firmware provides compatible HP and 3rd party solution software the ability
to establish HTTPs communications through the Jetdirect networking interface. The
protocol and encryption parameters for these solutions are now configured using
the Jetdirect networking settings, allowing access to updated Jetdirect protocols
and encryption. This option is available to HP and 3rd party solutions using the
HttpWebRequest Class connection methods.
➢ This firmware addresses the following security issues: CVE-2005-4900– SHA-1 is
not collision resistant, allowing for context-dependent spoofing attacks. Cipher
suites containing the SHA-1 hashing algorithm can now be disabled by setting
Encryption Strength to “High” within the “Mgmt. Protocols” page under the EWS
Networking tab. These cipher suites will remain enabled/active if Encryption
Strength is set to either “Medium” or “Low”. Note: For devices with Encryption
Strength set to “High”, after installing this firmware the Encryption Strength setting
will be changed to “Medium” to allow continued access to SHA-1 cipher suites.
Base:
➢ The Backup and Restore feature has been expanded to include JDI settings.
Additionally, this feature has been expanded to allow creating a backup file and
restoring that file to another device of the same model and firmware version as the
backup file.
➢ Added support for "Any Size/Any Type" in cassette trays.
➢ This feature increases the number of allowed PIN users in the device's local
address book; from 1000 to 2000.
Page 12
➢ Optimized JPEG decompression library improves performance of print jobs with
JPEG compressed images
➢ A new option has been added to delete the temporary jobs after 3 days.
➢ Error code “42.B0.01” will not be displayed in the event log for end customers.
➢ Added new feature to allow PCL 6 to suppress blank pages. Previously this feature
was only available with PCL5, now this functionality is also available with PCL6.
➢ Changes in power management to meet new Blue Angel regulations.
Embedded JetDirect:
➢ No New Updates
FIXES:
Base:
➢ You may see a 49.00.FF error while performing a Direct TIFF print job.

➢ Under certain circumstances an SNMP GET request might receive a slow response
which exceeds all client retries and timeouts. Sometimes the printer would never
respond. This fix ensures that these circumstances do not prevent timely SNMP
responses.
➢ Intermixing of pages is seen when printing mopy jobs.
➢ Embedded EPrint setting intermittently shows state as "Not Supported" instead of
"Enabled/Disabled" via WJA.
➢ Using the Pages per Sheet N-Up printing feature provided with any version of the
UPD PCL6 driver will give incorrect printed output.
➢ You may see improvements printing certain fonts.
➢ 49.38.07 error is seen when printing certain jobs with "reverse page order"
setting enabled on a device without finisher.
➢ PS Error seen when printing certain documents greater than 40 pages.

➢ Resolved issue where aftermarket authentication agents utilizing the OXPd protocol
could inadvertently remove guest permissions to tabs (e.g. the Information tab) on
the EWS page.
➢ This firmware addresses the following security issue: CVE-2016-2183 – 3DES
TLS/SSL Birthday Attacks on 64-bit Block Ciphers (SWEET32) Vulnerability.
➢ Re-added web services (removed in FS 3.8) to allow HP Jet Advantage Security
Manager to manage the state of the Information tab in the embedded web server.
➢ Resolved redundant authentication prompts when accessing certain types of logs.
➢ This firmware addresses the following security issue: CVE-2017-2750 - Insecure

unauthorized device resets.
Embedded JetDirect:
➢ Fixed "IP Address/Subnet is out of range. Check the field. IP=x.x.x.x
Mask=x.x.x.x" error given when an IP address was entered with zero for the host
number in the Access Control List.
➢ Buffers expanded to hold large DNS responses (70+ records). Previously only
about 7 or 8 records were accepted.
Page 14
➢ Trying to connect via the FTP may fail with certain applications.
➢ Fixed an issue where Windows Authentication would hang the printer.
➢ Product was generating Certificate Signing Requests with version number other
than zero. RFC 2986 requires a version number of zero.
➢ Product was generating Certificate Signing Requests with version number other

➢ Printer crashes with 81.09.00 Embedded Jetdirect Error message when user sets
Admin password from Telnet.
➢ Under certain circumstances during initial power-on, the DCHP Discover message
is sent without a hostname (option 81). This fix ensures that option 81 is always
present when applicable.
➢ The password input for "Import Certificate and Private Key" has been expanded
beyond 16 characters.
➢ Default name when saving a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) is no longer
"certificate.cer".
➢ Under certain ciccumstances the certificate validity check performed during the IKE
portion of IPsec was done with the local printer time and not UTC time.
➢ If a Jetdirect 2900w in installed and two different wired networks are connected to
the printer (one on the JD 2900w and one on the Jetdirect Inside connection), then
it was possible (under certain circumstances) for the entire printer to become
unresponsive.
➢ This fix prevents the printer from resetting the connection during an intervention
event (paper out, paper jam, etc.) when printing using the LPD protocol.
Previously, the connection would be reset after the TCP Idle Timeout had expired.
Now it will wait indefinitely.
➢ The firmware had trouble parsing a long list of "additional records" in a DNS SRV
response packet. This fix prevents the problems which were causing the device to
crash with a 49.38.07 error code.
➢ Do not respond to pings during the DHCP process (after DHCP Discover).
➢ Retry 802.1x EAP Start process if unsolicited Request Identity is received after
connecting to unsecured network.
➢ IPP attribute "printer state" is not returning the correct state when printing a port
9100 job.
➢ Updates to HTTPS communications for embedded aftermarket solutions.
➢ Some SSL requests from embedded solutions would fail due to corruption of the
destination URL.
➢ Printer is showing offline after registering to Google Cloud Print.

The following new functionality or features are provided by this firmware release:
Firmware Datecode: 20160102
Firmware Revision: 2307781_551200
HP Fleet Bundle Version Designation: FutureSmart Bundle Version 3.7
ENHANCEMENT:
Security/Authentication:
➢ Whitelisting ensures only authentic, HP firmware code that has not been tampered
with is loaded into memory. If an anomaly is detected, the device reboots to a
secure, offline state.
➢ Runtime Intrusion Detection checks for anomalies in system memory during
complex firmware and memory operations. In the event an anomaly is detected,
the device automatically reboots. If the Auto-recover feature is disabled, or the
anomaly occurs twice within 30 minutes, the device reboots to a secure, offline
state.
Base:
➢ The device now has the capability to directly print TIFF files from the walk up USB
port.
➢ Added support for printing TIFF files.
➢ IPP Job Mandatory attributes and Page Overrides are supported in Airprint1.5
phase 2.
➢ Additional support added for Code128, Code 3of9, OCR-A, and OCR-B.
Page 22
➢ When No Media Type is specified in the job and Tray 1 is loaded and configured
(ex: letter, cardstock), a prompt with the default media type is seen in the mount
(default: plain). If we press “OK” then the tray will be seeded to the job size and
type. If the user decides to not accept this change and selects the modify button
and change the tray1 type and press ok, the mount comes back. What this means
is that the user will not be able to use what is loaded and configured in Tray1 with
the current job. This requirement provides the capability wherein an "Options"
button is displayed instead of "OK" in the mount and once user presses Option
button, he should be able to see two listings for Tray1, one with the current tray
settings and one with the Job settings. Once user selects Tray1 with Job settings,
Job size and Job type will be seeded in Tray1 and Job will get printed from Tray1.
If user selects any other listing it will be treated as override of Job to tray settings.

Installation Instructions
NOTE: Please be aware that an update in some circumstance may require ten minutes or
more to complete.
You can send the firmware update to a device at any time; the device will wait for all I/O
channels to become idle before cycling power.
Please print a configuration page prior to performing any firmware update. To print the
configuration page:
1. Go to the printer’s control panel.
2. Scroll down and select the Administration application.
3. Select the Reports menu.
4. Select the Configuration/Status Pages menu.
5. Select the Configuration Page option.
6. Select the Print.
On the printed Configuration page look in the section marked "Device Information" for the
Firmware Datecode and Firmware Revision. The Firmware Datecode and Firmware
Revision will look something like this:
Firmware Datecode: 20130919
Firmware Revision: 2301132_395570
The elapsed time for an update depends on the I/O transfer time as well as the time that it
takes for the printer to reinitialize. The I/O transfer time depend on the speed of the host
computer sending the update and the I/O method (USB or network).
The re-initialization time will depend on the specific hardware configuration of the printer,
such as the number of EIO devices installed, the presence of external paper handling
devices, and the amount of memory installed. Finally, any print jobs ahead of the
firmware job in the queue will be printed before the update is processed.
Page 38
NOTE: When the update process has completed the device will need to be rebooted.
Once the printer is back online, print a Configuration Page and verify that the new
firmware has been installed.

example, when the HP Color LaserJet M651device was introduced, HP FutureSmart Level 3
was available and was the initial firmware for the device. The device cannot be set to a
lower version. Therefore, HP Web JetAdmin shows Not Supported for the HP FutureSmart
level of this device until a newer version is installed on the device.
