After replacing the cartridge with non-HP seller, the printer shows the message "Indicated cartridges blocked for containing non-HP chip. I read in some posts, firmware downgrade will help. Please share me the link to get the right firmware for downgrading. Currently it has version 20240321.
I have already check the Cartridge Protection configuration and it is set to off.

Hi @AVJK,
Welcome to the HP Support Community
I'd like to help!
You may refill your cartridges or use remanufactured cartridges, but you may run into problems. HP will not guarantee the functionality of those ink cartridges.
There are many cartridges in the market which is refilled and sometimes the chip is not configured to work with the printer. You need to contact the cartridge manufacturer and find out why it's not working. Try a different cartridge supplier and check if that works.

I hope this helps! Keep me posted.

This is not a solution but a way to market and promote HP cartridges. When the Cartridge protection is turned off in the printer, why is it still checking for HP chip? This is a bug. THe previous cartridges from the same vendor worked last time and I ordered same paying 200+ for cartridges of all colors and loaded them in the printer. I want a working solution with the same cartridges. I have seen other posts that the new firmware has this bug and we need to downgrade the firmware. Please share the link for compatible firmware to downgrade for m183fw.

I opened the "private message" hoping there would be a solution. But below is the pathetic response and you expect me to accept this as a solution. Because they are embarrassed to post the same here, they send private messages.
