it has been 8 months since my HP printer has become absolute **bleep** . It has frustrated me to core that i thought to through into bin but let me give a go if i get a help.
Since last 8 months , printer keeps trying to download software and failing . The infinate sequnce is here
Start printer
Connect printer to internet
Printer try to download sofware and getting failed .
Then gives you two option , either to retry or click on OK .
Click on retry doesn't do anythng and if you click OK it will reboot
after reboot you back to step 1
This loops is infinite /endless - no stopping since 8 months .
I have tried so many option in last 8 months such as
- restrore to factory default - DID not help
- installed dignostic tool
- Try to stop printer update but it keeps gives error saying printer is busy . There is only 5-10min I get to do something once printer is conectected to internet . Once it start downling software/firmware it goes in loop.
This is not a printer but torture
Any help on this is highly appreciated

@Slokaarya, Welcome to HP Support Community!
The only option left is to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device.
