Hi, if I have a device (printer) which isn’t connected to the internet, but could be, do I need to update the firmware?
I disabled all internet features and don’t plan on using them ever.

If the printer works on your OS, then don’t worry about it. I don’t think it needs to be updated unless the update provided value to the printer or your ability to use it potentially better. But I doubt it. But I could also be wrong.
