You can disable or defer Firmware updates that render your printer inoperable using generic carts

Thats a dirty trick to pull...looks like plenty of other HP models effected

basically, HP have hacked hardware that they no longer own.
sniff sniff, I can see someone in the US is sure to open a class action lawsuit over this

its allways somehow a mistake , after companies get caught :badpc:

1426175 2016-09-19 04:39:00 A few years ago, I bought an HP printer. IT was immediately obvious they were bullshitting the ink. It would run out of all four colours at the same time.

Googling I found a class action suit over it in the US.

I went through their support to get a refund on it.
They went round and round for so long I took it to Disputes Tribunal.

At which point they decided I could have the refund, never been near an HP since.
