Current issue: HP's Printer Firmware Update

HP Printer Firmware Downgrade Links

Below are links to websites that feature downloadable HP printer firmware versions that precede the HP "updated firmware" versions.

I certainly cannot guarantee that the downgrade firmware will work for your printer. However, the worst that can happen is that you can get back to the new HP firmware update (using the printer update firmware button), and obtain new cartridges from CompAndSave. According to one of their customer service agents, their new cartridges are compatible with this firmware update.

CompAndSave - In addition to an excellent firmware downgrade page,
they also sell very high quality HP-compatible cartridges
that are compatible with the recent HP firmware update. Check with their
chat agents before ordering if you cannot downgrade your firmware.
https://www.compandsave.com/hp-printer-firmware-downgrade
for 90x, 95x, 97x

ComboInk
https://www.comboink.com/hp-printer-firmware-downgrade
for 90x, 95x, 97x

4InkJets

for 202 A/X, 902 XL, 952 XL

Please note that the CompAndSave printer list is incomplete. Use the download specified for the cartridge series for your printer.
