For the last 2 weeks I have had the following message appear on my printer screen- 'download unsuccessful. The printer update could not be downloaded. Touch retry to start the download again. Touch okay to exit.'
This message appears 2 to 3 times a day and stops all printing until I press okay. I have tried the retry but just hangs and goes no where.
There are 2 desktops linked wirelessly to the printer. I have turned the printer off, I have gone into Smart to cancel all updates but the message keeps coming back. It appears to be a firmware update that won't update. I have tried to download it from HP web site but still failed.
I have turned the printer off, uninstalled it but the message comes back.
Any help would be appreciated.
