If you’re trying to set up or fix HP ePrint and you get the message “unable to check for firmware update” You’ll be happy to know it’s very easy to fix.
Stop using internet explorer, use firefox instead.
HP will try and talk you through changing to a static IP and using external DNS and all sorts of rubbish that won’t work. The simple fix is to use a different browser because their stuff is kinda crap. So – before you go crazy, try it in a different browser. Also remember to manually update firmware before proceeding, because you can’t trust a browser based session to get it right.
Nice work, HP.
