HP Recommended

My HP 8600 pro plus recently stopped working, after HP installed an update, which does not allow aftermarket ink to be used.

My screen says "problem with printer or ink' - - and won't let me get to the screen, or to the setting menu.

How can I remove these blocks, to allow the use of aftermarket cartridges?

 

How can I get to a screen which might allow me to uninstall the recent HP update?

 

I have over $80 in aftermarket ink, and no HP cartridges to even try.

If I purchase another $50 or more in HP cartridges and the printer still doesn't work . . . then what?
