After a failed firmware upgrade the wifi no longer turns on (should be a blue wifi light), the printer is not detected by windows via wifi or USB. I have run through the normal reset options still only the power button thats blinking. The small display blinks HP.
Update 6/2:
I found a video on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Gozo6PeiB0
I used LP1-3 without success, the ran USB0001. The firmware installed propperly. I restarted the printer, uninstalled the printer from from windows and then reinstalled it with wifi connection. Testpage was fine and I also scanned a document, all is good.
I now needs to solve the low toner light, I'm guessing that a firmware update won't fix that 😄
Hope this helps.
