Support assistant firmware upgrade.

[Kapcom1]

The support assistant indicates my printer needs a firmware upgrade. After accepting the download, the programme does it's assessment. Then another box pops up which says the version is current with update grey'd out and won't allow me to proceed any further. It doesn't show any error messages. My only option is to press cancel. My Printer is the HP Envy 5020. Any help would be much appreciated.

At least for the moment, just don't try to update the printer using the HP Support Assistant.

If you want to update, check, modify, work with the printer, (you can) do so outside of the HP Support Assistant.

If the printer is on the network, use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to check the printer information.

OR

Get the Firmware version from one of the Printer Self-Tests

Example

Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Tab Tools > Printer Information

OR

Category How to > Select Topic: Diagnostics & Support Tools

Select Document Printing Self-Test Pages

NOTES

• Several of the Self Tests include the Firmware Version information.
• Read the relevant section in the document for more information
