hp color laserjet mfp m476dn update firmware

To my suprise the smileyface also showed up for an successful update. After this I tried only clicking on the update file but with no connection to the printer (I uplugged it). smileyface showed up, but nothing changed.

I downloaded the file, clicked on it, searched my printer and did the update in a row, because everytime the smileyface showed, but nothing on the printer side happend. Secound of all, nice tutorial, but I think mine is possessed or something. Ok guys I never thought the reason for my reddit account registration would be a printer problem, but yes it is.įirst HP printer and I thought updates are good, but they did me good with this one.

set Allow Updates = no (so the firmware doesn't auto-update and break compatibility again).

Point that to your printer, mine took few times since my printer connected wifi.

set Allow Downgrade = yes, Allow Updates = yes.

on the printer, go into the printer's Setup | Service | LaserJet Update | Manage Updates.

I downgrade the firmware driver with this version and it worked.

I didn't type the steps or try them, but I walked someone through them and they worked.ĭowngrade steps from HP Support Form: Since HP is the culprit here by updating the firmware to block all users who use after-market toners, I believe. The latest firmware upgrade forces you to use genuine toner. Since HP scrubbed the software from their site (Bastards) and someone posted a drive link in the HP Form, which I figure will get taken down.I linked it below and added the steps.
