HP OfficeJet Pro 9015
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 wireless connection is fine and I have tried the unplug and restart several times.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @CabinetCures,
Welcome to the HP Support Community
I understand you are facing an issue "Download Unsuccessful" with your HP OfficeJet Pro 9015. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.
Let's perform a power drain:
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Remove the USB cable, if present.
- Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
- Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
- Turn on the printer and wait till the warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle
Update the printer firmware
- Click here to download and install the latest printer firmware from your product

I tried the power down option and that did not work.
So I powered down again. While the printer was off, I uninstalled the printer driver and deleted the HP Smart App. I turned on the printer, and reinstalled the driver and App and so far it's working.
Thanks!
