My printer is locked, and I am not a member of instant ink because HP does not offer it for this model.  HOw can I unlock it?  I have many things I need to print.

The firmware for this printer has this fine print quote:

 

This Firmware includes dynamic security measures, which are used to block cartridges using a non-HP chip or modified or non-HP electronic circuitry. The printer is intended to work only with new or reused cartridges that have a new or reused HP chip or circuitry.

 

Was the printer working up until recently?

Can you get a status report to find the exact problem?
