Update the firmware on an HP printer

HP regularly releases new firmware versions for printer enhancements, app updates, or issue fixes. Update the firmware regularly to get the most out of your printer.

Note:

For dynamic security enabled printers, the firmware includes dynamic security measures, which are used to block cartridges using a non-HP chip or modified or non-HP electronic circuitry. The printer is intended to work only with new or reused cartridges that have a new or reused HP chip or circuitry. Periodic firmware updates will maintain the effectiveness of the dynamic security measures and block cartridges that previously worked. More at: http://www.hp.com/learn/ds.

If one method does not work, try another method.

Use the HP Smart app to check for and install firmware updates.

Open the HP Smart app, and then create an account or sign in. If you do not have HP Smart, download it from 123.hp.com or your app store.
If you are setting up HP Smart for the first time, you must create or sign in to an HP account to access all printer functions.
On the app home screen, select your printer name or image.
Under Advanced, select Advanced Settings or Printer Home Page (EWS).
Select Tools or Web Services.
If prompted, enter the printer administrator password or PIN from the printer label.
