Hi @Neeveey 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

You can update the firmware of your HP Envy Pro 6430 All-in-One printer directly from the printer itself or using your smartphone. Here’s how you can do it:

Method 1: Update via Printer Control Panel

1. Connect to Wi-Fi: Make sure your printer is connected to your Wi-Fi network.
2. Access Settings:
   • On the printer's control panel, touch the Setup icon (usually a wrench or gear symbol).
3. Check for Updates:
   • Navigate to Printer Maintenance or Tools.
   • Look for Update Firmware or Check for Updates and select it.
4. Follow Prompts: If an update is available, follow the prompts to install it.

Method 2: Update via HP Smart App

1. Download HP Smart: If you haven't already, download the HP Smart app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
2. Connect the App to Your Printer:
   • Open the HP Smart app and make sure your printer is added. If not, you can add it by selecting Add Printer.
3. Check for Firmware Updates:
   • Once your printer is added, tap on it to access the printer settings.
   • Look for Printer Maintenance or a similar option.
   • Select Update Firmware and follow the prompts to install any available updates.

Method 3: Use the HP Support Website (Mobile Browser)

If the above methods aren't possible, you can also check the HP Support website using your phone's browser:

1. Go to the HP Support page.
2. Enter your printer model (Envy Pro 6430) in the search bar.
3. Navigate to the Software and Drivers section to see if there's a firmware update available.
4. Follow any on-screen instructions provided for mobile devices.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
