Another problem is if the update is packaged in a print job, which seems to be an option according to comments here. In that case, the Internet connected computer may still be hijacked by the manufacturer to bork the printer against the customers will, by sending a malicious print job to the printer.
- wernercd 6y agoThere's internet connected - the printer can pull updates... and there's internet connected - the world can send you print jobs. Why would your printer be set to allow print jobs from outside your network?
- vetinari 6y agoThe driver & related crapware on your computer can push firmware update to the printer. From the perspective of your firewall, it goes the same route as a regular print job.
