Is the firmware update for the hp1606dn going to be available for MacOS?

The latest version for MacOS install is not 20120130 as required by the 'Critical Update from HP'

Hi

 

I request you to connect printer to Mac via USB cable or Ethernet

 

then click on the below web link and then click on Download and once you save the file double click on it and then click on HP Installer

That downloads the Utility, thank-you.

 

But the utility is dated August 24, 2011, so it is unlikely to be the 20120130 firmware update unless it just downloads from the internet.

I downloaded the dmg file to which you pointed me a post or two ago. Inside that file is a upgrade utility dated August 24, 2011. There is nothing to tell me that this is the correct update.... that said, after sending the prior reply, I looked deeper into the dmg and find that there are later files inside, so I tried the update and it correctly set the firmware to 20120130... so it was fine afterall... just not obvious that it was the right one.

 

I am sure, yesterday, the MacOS download page still had the old version. Today it is ok, perhaps I was mistaken or it was just updated.

 

Thanks for the help.
