    Best advice I can give about printers: If it works out of the box, it doesn’t need a firmware update. Firmware updates for printers are only ever to screw third-party competition. I’ve owned my printer for years, and it’s still in its OTB state. Coincidentally, I’ve never had a problem using third-party ink.
