I'm infuriated by this change, but I'm also frustrated because they really are very good printers. There's a reason so many people bought them and they became so popular, they are very very good.

But this change is utter bullshit, I won't be upgrading my firmware any time soon.

    As Rossman points out, they said they'll stop you from printing if you don't upgrade your firmware.

    It's insane.

    No, they didn't. They explicitly said that you're free to not upgrade for now in the announcement.

    They have a section in their TOS that says they can block you from using the printer if you don't upgrade, which sucks, but that is a generic clause, doesn't mean they'll make use of that here, and from their communication I don't suspect they will, at least for the time being.
