Printer Firmware Update Utility

[HPSEagle]

Hello,

Wondering if anyone has the HP Update Utility Tool for Mac.  Each link I've seen is broken.  I can't find the tool to download.  Have an HP P1606 that is going to sleep in econ mode.  I understand that's a function of the new OS on the printer, which doesn't work well, however it also is seen by the mac as a disc when plugged in via USB.

If anyone has that tool or know where the download is please let me know.

Welcome to HP Support Forums. 🙂 I came across your post and would like to help.

I understand that you have an HP LaserJet Pro P1606dn Printer and need the firmware update for it. I read that printer goes to sleep while it is in economy mode. I'll surely assist you with this. 

I did some research and found that the sleep mode cannot be disabled permanently. Instead, the sleep mode timings can be changed from 5 minutes to 10 minutes to 15 minutes. If the printer is left idle for that much longer then it gets into the sleep mode.

However, I checked the HP website and found the link for the firmware update for this printer. Please click here to view and download the firmware update. 

I hope this helps. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. All the best! 🙂

When I try to execute the HP Firmware Upgrade utility.app on my Macbook Air at El Capitan I get:

"HP Firmware Upgrade Utility.app" can't be opened. You should eject the disk image.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

I have the same problem as Obasan.  On High Sierra (10.13.6) macOS reports that it cannot open the update application either.  This is with the app for the 5/31/2018 firmware update on this page:
