Hi,
I am using a HP Color Laserjet pro M252dw on a Win11 PC.
When I replace a toner, I normally get a popup window asking me to authenticate the Toner. I do this, and it comes back repeatedly with an error message saying it cannnot authenticate because it cannot connect to the internet.
The only options are to Try Again, or Close. I have tried many times, and if I press Close, it'll just happen the following day when I print.
It's really annoying.
Please help. I want to either fix the supposed connection issue or kill the check.
I have no internet issues, both the PC and the Printer are connected with a good Wifi. I think its a bug.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Irwin6,
Thank you but nothing in your reply helped.
The first link did not address the issue as none of the "Control panel message/Event code" related to the issue I described.
i then tried to update the printer firmware using the link you provided. I went through the Printer screen and the printer said there were no updates available.
Please advise again.
Thanks.
