An HP printer update has failed to install despite numerous attempts over several months. The printer has been removed and reinstalled using the latest print driver, but the update remains stuck.

Is there a way to delete the problem driver update? The printer is otherwise functioning correctly.

    Error 0x800f020b typically occurs when Windows Update fails to install HP printer driver updates.

    I shall suggest you to:

    Go to the official HP Software and Driver Downloads support site

    Search for your printer model.

    Download and install the latest full driver or firmware package.

    Restart your PC.
