Before you begin

Before upgrading firmware, make sure that any solutions used with the HP printer(s) will support the new firmware version. If a solution also needs to be updated to support the new firmware, HP recommends updating the solution to the latest version before updating the printer firmware.

Enhanced security features and settings implemented in recent firmware releases coupled with device resets might block the installation of some solutions. For more information, see the white paper Overview of the Secure by Default settings for HP Solutions.

If device resets are performed as part of the firmware upgrade process, be aware the solutions may need to be reinstalled or reconfigured.
