[November 2022] The HP SoftPaq FTP server used to be freely accessible but I find this no longer to be the case. Also, as far as BIOS updates are concerned, only the current info and BIOS files are accessible. Attempts to access earlier versions result in a 404 error message.
HP provides updates for its thin clients (and other products) in the form of 'SoftPaqs'. These all sit on a server and are available for download - provided you know what it is you're after. A few years ago HP rejigged their support pages and I found the new format not to be as useful for my purposes as it had been previously. What we have here is a simple index just to the BIOS update SoftPaqs for the HP thin clients.

* The html file for SP55460 refers to the 786R9 BIOS. This must be a typo. The readme file in the SoftPaq refers to the 786R8 BIOS, the list of Thin Clients are those running the 786R8 BIOS and the BIOS itself identifies as 786R8.
