Product: MacBook Pro 16"
Operating System: macOS 11.0 Big Sur

I have downloaded HP Easy Start, HP Smart, accessed the printer's webpage... but there is no option to update firmware anywhere. The firmware I am running says 20120901 - so obviously very old. Does anyone have instructions of how I can update?  Please and thanks.

There is no firmware upgrade for MAC. If you have a windows computer you can download and install firmware 20201012

There has to be a way to update firmware on the printer, even if you have a Mac.  Right?

If the printer is on a network you can send an RFU file (that is a firmware file) to the printer through FTP.

You can download a firmware installer for windows and then unzip/unextract the RFU file from the exe.

So... I still need a Windows PC to do it?

Nope, if you know how to get RFU from exe, and the printer and MAC are on the same network, and you know how to use FTP.

 

It's way easier if you have a Windows running computer.
