ABSTRACT:
System and methods for printer suggested upgrades using fuzzy logic analysis. A printer tracks printer usage relative to the features of the printer and the type of print jobs performed. Using a fuzzy logic protocol, the printer then selects among possible upgrades to select an appropriate upgrade based upon the tracked usage. A message is then generated sent to a network administrator, or other user, suggesting the selected upgrade.
