How do I get my HP 6960 office jet printer to recognise non HP ink

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.

 

No one likes this question - customers do not care for the answer.

 

It the printer won't recognize or use Non-HP Ink, there is no "override" to make it so.

 

Read the Description section in the Firmware Update / Driver Website reminds that this printer is subject to the security measures regarding ink use.

 

Reminder:  The latest firmware merely iterates the information.  The firmware version does not suddenly invoke dynamic security measures on its own for this particular update.

 

Everything you need to know:

HP Printers - Dynamic Security Enabled Printers

 

What if?

 

Even assuming the printer is not actively preventing the use of the non-HP ink, the practice is not supported by HP.

 

Contact the merchant from whom you purchased the ink and ask for help

OR

Use HP Genuine ink in your HP printer
