Updates
An update replaces part of the product you have–usually software–with a newer release. Driver
updates and firmware updates are the most common types of update.
Driver Updates
Driver updates are available from the website or from your service provider. See InfoCentral >
Contact Us for the Web address. Read the information about supported printer types and
operating systems before installing a driver update to make sure that your printer and operating
system are supported by the new driver.
If you have a printer installed and you attempt to install a new printer that uses the same driver
(but a different release), you must update the driver for the existing printer before you can install
the new printer (If the printers use different drivers, you will not be prompted to update.)
You can update only the same type of driver and only within the same brand.
