Welcome to the HP Support Community.
You cannot downgrade the firmware. Do you get any error message?
Let's try to reset the Printer here:
Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.
- Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
- NOTE: HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.
- Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
- Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
- Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
Also, try connecting the Printer to a different wall outlet directly.'
Let me know if this helps.

Hi asmita, thank you for answers, ive tried but dont work.
after reset printer is locked because not see the black cardrige. This is a big problem. If buy original set and dont work????
ive buyed 4 cardriges compatible but not work nothing. This isnt politically correctly. Im a hp printer fan but after 10hp printer only now used 3 hp think is moment to change printer's brand.
are five days that we have this problem....
