Product: M426fdw

I would like to go back to a firmware from 2018.

Ever since I upgraded the FW, it takes few attempts to send an email. Like other complained, it says there is a server problem, but I verified with Wireshark that the printer doesn't even try to contact the server, until the 2nd or 4th attempt. It looks like who ever is modifying the FW in the last year, went to same school with the support agents that ask if I have the latest drivers...

 

So please, no helpful copy-paste suggestions, please provide a link to older firmware revision, it used to work well.

Thank you.
