Hi@Hendrik100,Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

 

As I understand, your printer gives an error message and does not perform a Firmware Update,

No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution:

Since when are you getting an error message on printer screen? 

Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?

Are you able to make a copy?

Have you tried connecting your printer to a Wireless to update the Firmware? 

 

Although USB connection is a preferred way to perform a Firmware update, in your case we could connect the printer to Wireless and then install Firmware from the printer control panel: Click here and follow steps mentioned below "Update directly from the printer"

 

NOTE: Supported printers must connect to a wireless or wired network with an active Internet connection to install updates. If the printer connects to the computer with a USB cable, this update method is not available. Continue to the method to download the firmware from the HP website.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

 

Please click “Accept as Solution” if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.

Click the “Kudos, Thumbs Up" on the bottom right to say “Thanks” for helping!

Have a great day!
