I vow to never buy another Hewlett Packard printer at this time because of the way they're holding customers hostage with the printer ink, signed CB, just bought this one a year ago. Isn't there a law against this? Once it goes out I'm out.
I have done all the steps and downgraded my m283fdw to a 2020 firmware version, it says so when i check it in printer but it sill wont use my 3rd party toners. Any ideas?
Problem is the HP Smart app and Inkjet 6960 blocks access to the service button. So we can't select allow downgrades. A few more initial steps is required...
Hi Johan, thank you for your comments. Another user had the same problem. After he installed the old firmware, he still couldn't choose which printer to downgrade. Can you share more details about the "few more initial steps" and how you resolve the problem with HP SMART APP? Your information is really helpful. Thank you very much.
Hi, sorry for our late reply. It seems the link has been removed by RU-vid. You can download an old firmware for M283 in our blog:ybtoner.com/how-to-downgrade-hp-printer-firmware/

Version is still 2015 it didnt auto update. Any suggestion? Printer is HP LaserJet Pro 400 MFP M425dn
I have an HP Envy 110 and these steps don't help me downgrade firmware. I need help! Setup is different, so I don't have the same buttons(options) to press to downgrade.

Hi, Yes, HP no longer offers firmware downloads for older printers. But you may find old firmware backups in our blog: ybtoner.com/how-to-downgrade-hp-printer-firmware/
I have the old firmware for an 8025. But when I try to downgrade, it says the firmware is up to date and doesn't give me the option to update. Any help?
@@nugar Hello, may I ask when was the last time you updated your printer firmware? The firmware available for download on our website is an old version before March 14th. If downgrading is not possible, there may be two possibilities: 1. Your printer is already using this version firmware; 2. HP no longer supports firmware downgrading. If it is the first possibility, you need to find an even earlier version to downgrade or purchase a new compatible cartridge. Our engineers are still verifying the second possibility, but what we can confirm is that the firmware for HP 8025 can no longer be downloaded from the HP official website. If HP no longer publicly releases firmware downloads in the future, all firmware upgrades will be automatically downloaded by the printer, and downgrading will not be possible. We recommend that you turn off automatic updates. Please refer to our blog "How to Disable HP Printer Firmware Update" ybtoner.com/three-ways-to-disable-hp-printer-firmware-update/ for more information. Finally, we offer firmware safe cartridges, which may be more expensive than those from other suppliers, but will not be affected by any future upgrade issues. Thanks.
