Description:
After auto-updating the printer's firmware, the printer will boot up and display Supply Problem.   On some printers, it will also display after several minutes 79 Error and begin a continuous reboot if WIFI Network is enabled.

Remedy:
HP's latest firmware update  (firmware date code 20201021) is causing the printer to not accept 3^rd party (Non-OEM) toner cartridges.   If 3^rd party or non-OEM toner cartridge(s) are installed, the printer will display one of the following error:  Supply Problem | Cartridge Error | Toner Cartridge Error.    Also, some end-user is reporting 79 Errors with a continuous loop.   

To resolve the issue you will need to replace any installed 3rd party toners with OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer - HP ) toners cartridges.  We have seen success with downgrading the printer's firmware to the previous date code, disabling various printer features.  

Call our Support Group to schedule an onsite service appointment and one of our experienced technicians is able to perform the downgrade and disable printer features, to prevent the printer from auto updating.
