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.
  • Clicking Printer Update or Tools in the EWS
  • 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.
  • Location of the PIN on the printer label
  • 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.
  • Clicking Check Now

For more information, go to Update the firmware on an HP printer.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
