I tried downloading the firmware update and an error popped up stating "download unsuccessful". My default printer is my network printer. I touched retry, but to no avail.

Hi @Casual5470,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I see you need help with the printer firmware update. I have shared the steps below. This should help.
Update the printer firmware (HP Smart app)
- Use Advanced Settings in the HP Smart app to check for and install firmware updates.
- Open the HP Smart app, and then click the image of your printer to open the settings and management tools.
- Under Advanced or Settings, click Advanced Settings to open the printer Embedded Web Server (EWS).
- From the EWS home page, click the Printer Update tile. If the tile is missing, click Tools > Printer Updates > Firmware Updates.
- If prompted to log in, enter the PIN from the printer label, and then click Submit. This label is typically inside the cartridge access area.
- Under Check for Printer Updates, click Check Now. Any new updates automatically install.
- CAUTION:
- Do not turn off the printer during a firmware update. This can permanently damage your printer.
For more information, go to Update the firmware on an HP printer.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
