HP Printer Firmware Downgrade Download

An HP printer firmware update has caused the printer to reject third-party printer cartridges again. If your printer stopped printing due to a “Non-HP Chip Detected”, “Supply Problem” or “Supply Memory Error” error message, HP has probably updated your printer firmware. This is frustrating for users who prefer to use cheaper, third-party cartridges instead of expensive HP-branded ones. To make your printer accept non-HP cartridges again, you can downgrade the firmware to an old version by following this blog.

  1. Sorry, both dmg’s for the Mac version HP Firmware Updater didn’t work for printer HP OfficeJet 6962 All-in-One nor for the series 6960. It gives a message stating “Cannot update the device.” “This Firmware Updater does not contain upgrades for your device.” I have a 2022 Mac Studio with the Apple M1 Ultra chipset.

    • Hi, Fred Van Heste,
      Which version is your MAC OS system ? If it’s not the latest version of system(OS 13), both dmg’s for the Mac version should work for your printer.

        • Hi, Talat Ozturk

          Thank you for your comment.

          MAC OS13 is a new system version, so our engineers need to further verify if the old firmware version can be downgraded on the OS13 system. We will promptly notify you if there is any feedback.

  2. I have an HP Officejet Pro 6960 running on Windows 10. There is nowhere within any of the printer settings either at the printer screen or the computer that gives the option of “Manage Updates menu, touch the Allow Downgrade butting and then select Yes”. Also I have tried the above downgrade firmware regardless of the above but HP detects my printer and will not install with message “Not Applicable”. Is there any way around this?

  3. Hi:

    I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 8020 and downloaded the firmware “HP OfficeJet Pro 8022 All-in-One Printer” but it says “Cannot update the device.” “This Firmware Updater does not contain upgrades for your device.” I have a Macbook Pro with OS macOS Ventura 13.4.

    Am I doing something wrong? Should I try something different? Appreciate your help!

  7. I have Windows 10 and an HP MFP 283cdw printer. I was wanting to downgrade the firmware. I did all of the steps on the printer, and downloaded the appropriate firmware downgrade listed above and have tried 3 times to install it, and I get the smiley face and hit exit, but nothing happens after that. I’ve tried restarting the printer several times manually, but I’m still getting the same error message about the cartridges.

    What am I doing wrong?

  9. Hi,
    Any chance you have a firmware downgrade for a Mac and HP LaserJet Pro M254dw? Crossing my fingers before I go buy a different brand printer I can use with your toner. Never again HP.

    • Hi, Kim,

      Here is download link of old firmware version for Mac and HP LaserJet Pro M254dw: HP M254dw Printer-20220316.dmg. You can try to download to see if this firmware works or not. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us.

      And, thank you for your support and trust. Yes, HP printers often block the use of third-party toner cartridges through firmware upgrades. As a result, customers have to buy expensive original HP toner cartridge.

  10. I have an 8025, and I have the correct downgrade firmware for it. It sees the printer and puts it in the list, but tells me that the firmware is up to date, and will not allow me to check the box beside the printer name, or the update button. Is there a workaround?

  13. Hola, ¿
    hay alguna posibilidad de que tenga una versión anterior del firmware para HP LaserJet Pro M227fdw? para windows

    Reply
      • Windows 11.

        I already tried an old version I had on hand (TOP1FN2147DR), but while it partially recognized the black cartridge upon setup, it still omitted detection of the colour one and the black cartridge was flagged as “with issues” the moment I switched the colour cartridge, never to recover (the old firmware first misdetected the black as original while omitting the colour one, and after a couple of troubleshooting steps from HP’s associate, it stopped doing so). I would like to try other versions to see if I find a more permissive one, preferrably one that also detects the colour cartridge.

        Reply
        • Hi, Kemm,

          The misdetection issue might be caused by the chip of color printer cartridge. If the printer firmware you loaded can detect the black toner cartridge, it should detect the color ones at the same time.

          And, very sorry to tell you that we don’t have another firmware version for your printer right now. Once we have another version in hand, we will notify you immediately.

    • Hi, jon, it seems that HP has blocked HP inkjet printers from downgrading the firmware recently.

      But, you still can try to follow this instruction to see if work: install 7-zip, take the .exe file and extract it, edit the EnterpriseDU.ini file and change VerifyDownloadID from 1 to 0, save the file, and then run EnterpriseDU.exe, that should get you past the “Not Applicable” error.
