I recently updated my MacOS to 27.0.1 ("Golden Gate").
When I run the HP Firmware Updater I downloaded for this device, it finds the printer on the network, but I get the error: "Cannot update the device. This Firmware Updater does not contain upgrades for your device."
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello @NitroListerine, Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding the HP LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdw printer.
We appreciate the opportunity to assist you and are glad we could help work toward a resolution. We hope our support has been valuable.
The message “Cannot update the device. This Firmware Updater does not contain upgrades for your device” indicates that the specific updater you’re running does not have a newer firmware for your printer (or is not the correct updater for that model).
Currently, the available HP software and drivers have been updated for macOS 26. You can check the latest software, drivers, and firmware available for your printer through the official HP support page below. HP also notes that if an operating system is not listed on the driver page, HP may not currently provide driver support for that operating system.
