After the last upgrade our black-and-white laser printer refused to print saying it's out of yellow ink.

@szescstopni

I don't use our aging printer much, but it keeps telling me that there's a firmware update waiting.

I suspect that it's to brick the printer because none of the ink is Canon.

So I'm not going to press that button, ever.

@EricLawton Our printer is 20 years old (an HP, from the times they were not evil), We have a 15 years old backup printer. They work because they can't connect to the Internet.

@szescstopni
Since nobody else in the house has printed anything this year, they send stuff to me to print, I really should just plug my printer into USB and turn off its WiFi.

[Adds to extensive to-do list]

@szescstopni have you tried pouring a cup of coffee over the printer to see if the error message disappears?
