HP Firmware Updater

HP Firmware Updater is a utility from HP that detects and installs firmware updates for HP printers, all-in-one devices and other peripherals connected to a Mac. It runs in the background, checks periodically for available updates, and simplifies the process of keeping HP hardware current with security patches and performance improvements. This is a support tool rather than an end-user application — it is typically installed alongside HP's printer drivers and control software.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">HP Firmware Updater is a helper utility for HP printer management, and we have not found public information confirming whether HP has shipped a native Apple Silicon build. Your options depend on whether the app is still needed. If you have an HP printer or multifunction device connected to your Mac, contact HP support directly or visit support.hp.com and search for your specific printer model to find the latest native-compatible drivers and firmware tools — HP's official drivers often include updated versions of all required utilities. If this app is orphaned or no longer part of HP's current driver suite, you can safely remove it; modern macOS versions include generic printing support that works with most HP devices without needing separate utilities. Given the September 2028 deadline when Rosetta 2 is removed from macOS 28, it is worth confirming now with HP whether this tool has a supported path forward, especially if your workflow depends on automatic firmware updates.
