Does anyone have a solution to the new firmware update preventing us from using non-HP cartridges?

[Sunshine614]

My HP Officejet Pro printer alerted me to replace one of the colour cartridges yesterday. I replaced it with a non-HP cartridge - from a manufacturer I have used with this machine many times before with a remanufactured ink cartridge - and now the printer WILL NOT WORK. The error message tells me I must use a HP cartridge only. 

This only occurred after the recent firmware update in December 2022 - the first time one of the cartridges needed to be replaced.

I need to know what solution can be given to allow me to use non-HP cartridges. I believe it is anti-competitive to force owners of HP printers to only use their branded cartridges. Is that true?

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

There is no legal method to bypass the Dynamic Security.

What if?
