Instant Ink Firmware Update

[PickyPicky]

Yesterday I downloaded the Instant Ink security breach firmware update. Today I wanted to double check everything was OK, but for some reason now I cannot connect my mobile hotspot and the printer to my computer's wifi at the same time. This has never happened before. I have no idea have to fix this and am concerned that the firmware update did not reach the printer. Not to mention I can't print. What should I do?

Two hours later: I found a USB cord, connected the printer, ran the update again and my status shows up-to-date. I hope it is. Don't want to get to November 15 and get a "you've been cut off" message from Instant Ink. It would be nice to get some kind of "successful update" confirmation from HP.

OK, if you say that Bx  and BR are the same version, I believe you. 🙂 I'm the type that always worries about details.

Thanks again.

Here 'x' represents any character. 2020B followed by any character belongs to the same batch of the firmware.

Hope this answers your query.
