Hello,
This issue does not come from you, but from Windows.
Please temporarily disable the User Account Control (UAC) and then re-run the program as follows:
- On the keyboard, press the Windows and R keys simultaneously. The Run window will open.
- Type control nusrmgr.cpl, then press the Enter key. The User Accounts window will open.
- Click Change User Account Control settings. The User Account Control Settings window will open.
- Move the cursor down to the bottom and click OK and then Yes.
- Restart the computer.
- Run the printer firmware update software again.
- Then reactivate the user account control.
- Restart the computer.
In case of need, don't hesitate to contact us.
Best regards,
