Just re-read your original post, have you replaced the formatter and are you
saying that the printer is not reporting the serial number of the new
formatter? If so then you could try a cold reset.
1. Print a configuration page in case you need to input any parameters again.
2. Power off and remove the jetdirect or network card otherwise you will lose
the IP address etc.
3. With power off, hold down the Online button while turning the printer on.
4. Turn off and re-install the jetdirect card.
