   1. Hold down the Cancel and OK buttons.
   2. Power on the printer.
   3. Continue to hold down buttons until the control panel displays Hewlett- Packard on the first line and Boot code on the second line.
   4. Ensure printer is connected via USB to the PC. Run HP LJ P2055 Firmware Update Utility.
