I have read that I need to downgrade my firmware to allow non-HP printer cartridges to be used by my HP OfficeJet Pro 9018e.  Can I get the instructions to bypass the error message that locks up my system?  Thanks!

Hi @mortyman 

 

In these HP+ class printers it is not possible to use only original cartridges you should buy a non-HP+ printer to use other cartridges those printers are the ones that do not have the “e” at the end of the model.
