My printer, Brother DCP-J1050DW, is yet again wanting to update the application, for at least the second time in about 3 or 4 days!  I have updated it at least twice. A little while ago there was a Firmware update also that I did. Is this all genuine, or is somesort of scam involved?

I guess we'll hear what to expect from the Solomons and Noumea as it passes through that region a few hours prior to it getting here.

Interesting read; the 'fast track' act. Who benefits...
