The printer is showing Download Unsuccessful" and "The printer update could not be downloaded". There are 2 soft buttons, "Retry" and "Ok". If I hit "Retry" it tries to download and fails. If I hit "Ok" it gives me the start screen but 5 mins later it goes back into update mode and tries to download and fails.
The printer is useless in this condition. The wireless connection is fine and I have tried the unplug and restart several times.
I have also tried to go to setup but the option to not download updates automatically cannot be turned off, it says the option is locked.

Are you able to print and scan fine?
Is the printer connected to a secure network?
Are you enrolled in the instant ink program?
