How to Disable Printer Automatic Update

On March 21, 2023, Chipjet monitored the firmware upgrade in HP printers that use CF416/CF259 series consumables. The firmware is forwarded through WiFi and will be installed automatically if users do not disable printer automatic update. As a result, printers are unable to identify compatible cartridges.

The best solution is to disable automatic update. Here are the methods:
