Hello,

some day ago the Hewlett-Packard printer of my friend does not work
any more on Windows 10. So i downloaded from HP site all document
files and software. The printer is an HP ENVY 6000.
One downloaded package EN6000_2214B.exe contains a firmware update
for this printer. Just for interest i extract the package. One file
inside has name extension FUL2. The really full name is:
vasari_base_dist_pp1_001.2214B_nonassert_appsigned_lbi_rootfs_secure_
signed.ful2

When running file command version 5.43 on such samples these are
described only as "data".

With option --extension 3 byte sequence ??? is shown and with
option -i only generic text/plain or application/octet-stream
mime types are shown.

For comparison reason i run the file format identification utility
TrID ( See https://mark0.net/soft-trid-e.html). This described this
file as "Unknown!.

For comparison reason i also run the file format identification
utility DROID ( See https://sourceforge.net/projects/droid/). The
FUL2 sample is her also not recognized.

Information about ENVY 6000 printer can be found on HP web site.
That information is now expressed by comment line inside
Magdir/printer like:

# URL:		https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/
# hp-envy-6000e-all-in-one-printer-series/2100187505/model/2100187513

Inside Magdir/printer there exist similar entries which contains
lines like:
 0	string		\033%-12345X at PJL HP Printer Job Language data
 >0	search/10000	@PJL\ ENTER\ LANGUAGE=HBPL	- HBPL
 >0	search/10000	@PJL\ ENTER\ LANGUAGE=ZJS	- HP ZJS

When i look in the firmware file the starting escape sequence is
missing and the value for variable LANGUAGE is FWUPDATE2. So for the
firmware file i add afterwards lines like:
0	string		@PJL\ ENTER\ LANGUAGE=FWUPDATE2	\
					HP Printer firmware update
!:ext	ful2

After applying the above mentioned modifications by patch
file-5.43-printer-ful2.diff then my HP printer firmware update
is now detected and described.

With best wishes,

Jörg Jenderek
