HP OfficeJet Pro 8210 Printer

I have an  HP Officejet Pro 8210.  I am a teacher and had to purchase this printer out of my own pocket to use in my classroom.  My school does however purchase ink for me in between my instant ink cartridges that I also pay for myself.   It is ridiculous that the printer won't let me use the generic brand cartridges.  After all this is MY printer that I purchased and OWN.  I should be able to use whatever ink cartridge I want!! Can someone please help me fix this issue?  My computer at school is under mega security so I cannot download things as easily as you could with your own computer. I do not have another computer at home.   Someone please help! Thank you!
