There seems to be an ongoing issue with the HP firmware updates, where the self assigned static IP address gets reset to DHCP auto assign during the firmware upgrade process :
Original Shipped Firmware : 2020_06_03
First upgrade : 2021_11_22 - lost static IPv4 and defaulted to DHCP
December 2022 Upgrade : 2022_07_29 - lost static IPv4 and defaulted to DHCP
Latest 2023 upgrade : 2023_12_06 - lost static IPv4 and defaulted to DHCP
Could this behaviour be changed by HP, as I have to then go find what DHCP IP address the printer has got after upgrade and then manually go re-enter IPv4, DNS parameters to get the printer back to working condition, like to was before the F/W upgrade.
i.e. Keep manually assigned user IP information rather than purging it and resetting to DHCP.
