My printer is saying supply problems since we did an update. Someone sent me old file for the June firmware update as HP took it off their website. I am having trouble still getting it to downgrade on my printer. ANy suggestions? I have it plugged in through USB and have tried several things. It gives me fatal error and says wrong firmware installed. Update failed. 

 

This has been fixed..thank you
