Firmware changelog MG5650

arpcpro — Sat, 18 Feb 2017 20:32:49 GMT

My Pixma MG5650 is since a few months ago requesting to update the firmware. I might consider allowing such a risky operation, but to evaluate I need to read the firmware changes. What will the new firmware bring and add to enhance the printer?

Anyone knows where I will find this information?

I also don't want to run the risk of after the fw update the printer stops recognizing my non genuine ink cartriges.

The problem is that Canon Europe does not seem to have a forum for knowledge sharing. I guess that the support teams wants to receive and reply to the same questions over and over again. Anyway, they replied to mine, so here it is for everyone:
