Do I need a Firmware Upgrade ?

Yes, you can see the comments to that effect, at the bottom of my quoted reference.

Having read some of them, it raises a rather basic point of whether you should convert your Adobe colour space image to sRGB in PS before feeding it to the printer (which is likely to be limited to sRGB colour space by design), or let the printer (struggle?) to do it for you. Is there any difference in the final result?

Some folks swear by 16bit workflow, they use special 16bit target to make profiles and swear that they can see difference. Well I'm not one of them, I like the profiles to pass certification that means quality can be measured not pretend it is there.

Therefore I don't say 16bit workflows are bad, but since most of users print to pigment printers there is no benefits as ink is limiting factor imho.

Now if we would talk about DYE ink printers, especially like the pharmacist suggested some ink combos to widen the gamut, then 16bit is another fresh breath of air to improve the printed images given the fact all chain from input to output is 16bit.

I'd say the manufactures like CANON,EPSON,HP should learn to first make their printer print neutral BW without profiles, then we can talk about 16bits, etc.
