Abstract
A method of updating resident firmware in a printer via a printer interface holding updated printer firmware includes automatically sending a request for printer hardware and firmware information to the printer. Printer hardware and firmware information received in response to the request is examined to determine if the updated printer firmware is compatible with the printer. If the updated printer firmware is not compatible with the printer, the updating is terminated. If the updated printer firmware is compatible with the printer, the updated printer firmware is automatically transmitted to the printer for storage therein.
