HP2727MFP--CAN'T RECIEVE FAXES. TRIED TO UPLOAD NEW FIRMWARE(USEING USB AND EITHERNET CABLES) WHICH RESULTS IN A "FATAL ERROR 8"

This is possibly an issue with the software the gps uses to work. You could try doing a Firmware update by connecting it to a computer and going to the Magellan website to access the update.

Try a new cable.

Hello 3G,

To resolve the issue Error e225,

Turn the main power switch off and then back on-ICMF 4000 series/D400 Series

or

Update the firmware :

There is a risk that the MF4150 will not operate if power interruption occurs
during the firmware update. Please make sure MF4150 is connected to
reliable AC power source.

1. Save the downloaded file "MF4150_FirmwareUpdateTool_V0xx.exe on local drive. (i.e. desktop)
Computer Requirements for update

If the light is lit or blinking, wait until all the jobs are finished (i.e., COPY, PRINT, and SCAN), and that the Processing/Data indicator is turned off.
3. Make sure that Error indicator (Red LED) on the operation panel is turned off. If Processing/Data indicator (Green LED) is lit and Error indicator (Red LED) is blinking at the same time, jobs are held in the printer memory due to an error, possible cause is out of toner or paper has run out, or toner cartridge is not installed. Check the LCD for and error message and refer to the documentation that came with the printer to resolve the error.
4. Disconnect Fax line cable from the MF4150 to prevent Fax reception interruption during firmware update.

Hi
Have you tried uninstalling the printer from your system?
try doing so, and install it again, but this time using a new USB port.

The error 1200 refers to a problem with one or both of your cartridges, and as the printer uses these cartridges to print, it will not be able to print any recieved faxes. To avoid lost data, it blocks all fax usage as a result of recieving this message.
