Hi Vicki16,
I am sorry to hear of your issues with your printer, I can assure you whatever updates you receive from HP are not intended to hurt your printer but to enhance its performance. I will do my best to assist you with this issue!
What happens when you try to print, scan or copy?
What errors do you get?
Without knowing what's happening, I will suggest the general troubleshooting of performing a hard reset and making sure the printer is plugged directly to a wall outlet.
Hope to hear back from you soon!
