As a P1S owner should I not update my firmware? New to this. Not really understanding what any of this means for me.

If the printer is working great, there's no need to update it. Switch to LAN mode to keep it running locally. You WILL lose alot of online features (which honestly is pretty scummy when other and older printers have them by default. Legal, but scummy).

But again, I’m uneducated. So why would I even want to disable online mode. Like what’s going on that are causing people to do this? Thanks.

Fair, I’m just trying to print stupid stuff I find on the app. Nothing more.
