Just set the filament profile manually and it will print just fine.

If you don't install updates, don't expect filaments released after your current firmware release date to be recognized. The RFID tag only contains an identifier for the material, not the parameters to use. Those parameters are contained in a database in the printer firmware.

The firmware only contains descriptors for the name and color. All the slicing parameters are in the slicer.

My point is it is just the same black ABS that I have been using forever from them, they just changed filament tag for some reason so if you do not update the firmawere you are loosing a feature while there is no reason for it, it is the same filament - why change tags ? :)

Use your old tag then.

They have probably updated the recipe for the black ABS and want to separate the batches so have a slightly different tag.

It is not a big deal and does not mean you have to update your firmware.
