Hi

I just bought new ink to my HP LaserJet MFP M281fdw. Everything worked great until HP notified me about a new firmware update. After the installation the printer stoped working and says there are unreadable ink level. I have strong suspicion that HP not allow you to by ink from other producer  any more. This leaves me with a printer thats under 1 year old and new ink for 220 USD.

I have used HP all my life and if i dont get a good explanation i have bought my last HP produkt.
