Ah, that's fair on the old firmware bit, I hadn't heard about that. I have a Brother laser printer, but it's locked down on my network for phoning home.
What's the domain you blocked?
I didn't block a domain, I restricted the printer's MAC from WAN access in my router's firewall. I can still access it from any device on my network, but it just can't phone home or search for firmware updates.
