Only the author (that's HP) can correct the program. What does HP Customer Services say if you complain about this bug?
If you still have warranty and HP can't fix it yet, it might be a reason to return the printer, although I doubt if they will accept it, if they think turning the machine off every night is a good enough alternative.
