How can I DOWNGRADE firmware of m428fdw to something earlier than TETONXXXXN002.2230C.00 ?

This version and later will NOT allow you to use 3rd party toner cartridges, which are MUCH cheaper than HP ones.

I want a link to download an earlier version of this firmware.

There should be an option in the EWS to stop cartridge protection. If you have to downgrade you will need a copy of the old firmware upgrade utility, extract the .ful file to a USB key using a program like 7 zip. Then although the EWS enable firmware downgrades and disable automatic updates. Then insert the key into the front USB slot, what for the printer to acknowledge the key and apply the firmware.
