Updating Epson printer software There is an Epson Software Updater icon on my screen that jumps up and down for me to open it. I am by no means a computer expert so I ignore anything like this. However I use my Epson printer for sublimation printing for crafting purposes. If the printer is working okay for my needs, is it necessary to open this updater (I am leery about opening anything on my computer and always verify authenticity). Can someone from the Apple community please advise?
