Hi @Babeq007,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

We are unable to assist with bypassing the non-HP chip functionality as it involves altering the printer's security features. HP printers, such as the HP OfficeJet Pro 6978, often come equipped with dynamic security measures to ensure the use of genuine HP cartridges, which help maintain print quality and reliability.

Using non-HP cartridges or attempting to bypass these security features may lead to issues like error messages or reduced print quality. If you are experiencing problems with non-HP cartridges, I recommend switching to genuine HP cartridges to ensure optimal performance. For more information about dynamic security affecting HP printers, you can visit HP Inkjet Printers - Dynamic Security Feature.

I hope this will help.

Take care and have a good day.
