Even if you upgrade the FW?

I tried upgrading the firmware. I have the latest available,
20201215.

I also have a HP.
After entering credentials it allows me to access the advance
capabilities of my printer.
It allows me among other things to renew the selfsigned cert!

To me, this is build-in! ;^)

I did finally find it.

Networking -> Certificates -> Configure

That gives me several options. I then selected "Create a New
Self-Signed Certificate". That updated the certificate. I now cannot
print on that printer, even after cycling power.

Do you realy need SSL/TLS for a printer, if your network is secured.

If I print over the USB
interface, I hear it spin its wheels, but nothing is printed. I tried
deleting and re-installing it. No go.

Or I could select "Create a Certificate Request" and hit Next. I filled
in the details, hit Next. No complaints from the printer. I then used
copy and paste to save off the cert request. This is a good thing,
because when I hit "Save" I got several requests for Username and
Password in a row. I gave up after the 5th such request.

I'm rather frustrated and annoyed.


A wild guess, would be that the default cert was signed by a trusted CA,
which could explain why it was working out of the box! ;^)

You could use Letsencrypt to sign your CSR, assuming that you can upload
your signed cert to the printer.

I can access my printer via telnet, which is, sometime less frustrating! ;^)

Good luck I guess!
