HP Color LaserJet 2600n Printer

I cannot find any firmware flashes for HP 2500n printer on HP's support site. Am I missing them or are they not available? I would like to flash the latest version, as far as I know the firmware has not been updated on my printer in years. 

Thank you in advance

Then go ahead and Download and install the update it doesn't care what operating system you're running under it just sends the update file to the printer.

Your correct.

 

There has not been a Firmware Update since Oct 31, 2012

I wish I had some better news but I don't.

thank you 

Question - the release notes only go through Win 7 64 bit OS, would you recommend trying this update on Win 10 64?

HP Recommended
A firmware update doesn't really care what OS your PC is running because you're updating something on the printer.

There have been a few times where I've had to pull the firmware update out from the listings under a different OS because HP had forgotten to also list it under the more current OS versions.

Is there a particular reason you want to update the firmware or is it just because it is old?

There are a couple of weird anomalies:

I get a failed to print message returned after printing but it did print from Win 10.

My new Android Note 8 won’t print, get a message to update printer firmware.

Mostly because the printer is old but works so I wanted to get the latest before all support stops for it.
