How do I opt out of updates and REMOVE the March 2025 automatic update to my  MFP M283cdw Color LaserJetPro HP printer?

@OptOutOfUpdates, Welcome to HP Support Community,

Thank you for posting your query.

Unfortunately, the printer update cannot be uninstalled or removed.

Like so many other unfortunate HP printer customers, my printer no longer shows as a printer for selection to print. Prior to that it would not print anything. Worse, there was a message to the effect that my printer was now compromised and exposed to whom or what the message did not detail. Thank you for reaching out to help me. I am beyond pissed off with HP printers and greedy sole proprietor of ink updates.

So what's going on at HP to fix this?  I have not been able to use my 2734e printer since the first week of March, and it is part of my critical business equipment.  Does anyone there care?  Has anything been done to correct this mess?  Do i need to buy a new printer after I just bought ink for this boat anchor?
