HP should release firmware with Dynamic Security disabled
Or at the least an option to switch it off
My Firmware was updated by HP without my permission, and now my printer is a brick.
It looks like there is a lawsuit about this kind of behaviour:
A proposed class action claims HP, Inc. has transmitted firmware updates to its printers that block customers from using third-party ink and toner cartridges and force them to buy more expensive HP-branded supplies.
According to the 25-page lawsuit, the firmware updates essentially “act as malware” by adding, deleting or altering the printers’ code to render competitors’ products incompatible with HP printers. Per the case, the firmware update, or at least the portion that blocks the use of third-party cartridges, “serves no legitimate business purpose” and blindsides customers who were never warned that the update would strip them of their ability to buy less expensive supplies for their printers.

Did you purchase an 8024 or an 8024E?

I work in the Enterprise field and support Laserjet, Pagewide and Designjet products but not Officejet products. On many products if you can find either the .RFU file for the old firmware or the old version of the update utility (which you can extract a .FUL files from) you can force the old firmware. With a .FUL file you can often copy the file to a USB stick and then insert into the front USB port on the printer. The .RFU is applied using a command through the command line window in Windows 7 or 10.
