HP Laserjet M29
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I was browsing HP printer pages here, as I very well might need to buy a new printer. I've used HP printers exclusively for over 20 years, and always gotten great service. There was one model I was looking at, the M29, here: https://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/hp-laserjet-pro-mfp-m29w-printer

 

 I read this in the product page. I don't know if this is just legalese, or if this is an indication that I cannot expect to use aftermarket toner, like I have for years and  years:

 

Dynamic security enabled printer. Only intended to be used with cartridges using an HP original chip. Cartridges using a non-HP chip may not work, and those that work today may not work in the future.
 
So my question: if I buy this M29 laser, will I still be able to use aftermarket toner?

All depends on whether the cartridges you buy comply with requirements to use HP compliant chips. Many cheap aftermarket cartridges do not because the chip is the most expensive part when making toner cartridges.

Interesting. I went to my toner supplier and found that the toner for that printer was more than for the toner I have been buying for my P1102w that I do have now--although the number of pages was higher, also.
