Printer manufacturers release firmware updates periodically, approximately every few months. Whether you choose to download a firmware update is up to you.
Delaying a printer firmware update puts your printer's security and functionality at risk. If your printer malfunctions or exposes your office to a security breach, it can lead to longer, costlier downtime compared to the time it takes to update your firmware.
A good rule of thumb: if your printer is more than seven years old, you may want to start pricing new units. In this case, even a relatively inexpensive component is not worth the investment.
