Hi @rowdydadf16drvr,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
I hear that your HP OfficeJet Pro 8130e series will not move past the firmware update step after you select Auto Update and then Continue. Try these HP-supported checks:
- Make sure the printer is connected to the Internet. Firmware checks require an internet connection, and HP+ printers must remain connected online for setup and updates.
- Complete setup with HP software and an Internet connection, not USB-only. HP states that to use all features and complete the first-time setup, you should use HP software and an internet connection.
- If using Wi-Fi, confirm Wi-Fi is connected and stable. The printer Wi-Fi light should remain lit when successfully connected.
- If needed, connect by Ethernet instead. HP notes that you can connect the printer to an Ethernet network, and Wi-Fi is automatically disabled when Ethernet is connected.
- Try updating from the control panel again after reconnecting to the network:
- On the Home screen, touch Menu
- Go to Utilities > Settings
- Touch Firmware Update
- Choose Auto Update (Recommended) or Notify
- On the Home screen, touch Menu
- If the printer is already on your network, try updating from the Embedded Web Server (EWS):
- Open the printer’s EWS from HP software, then go to General > Firmware Update > Check for Update.
- Open the printer’s EWS from HP software, then go to General > Firmware Update > Check for Update.
- If proxy settings appear and you do not have them, contact your network administrator. HP notes that proxy details may be required on some networks.
I hope this will help.
Take care and have a good day.
I'm an HP Employee.
