Hi @TH119,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 It seems like you're experiencing an issue with your printer cartridges. We always recommend using genuine HP ink cartridges.

I see that you have an issue using non-HP ink cartridges on your printer.

 Please refer to the below links for more information related to your issue.

 If you are using generic or Non HP ink cartridges and the above links do not help. You will have to contact the generic ink cartridge manufacturer to assist you further with it or you will have to use genuine HP ink cartridges to resume printing.

The link provided can't solve the printer issue. There is no tutorial how to disable dynamic security either. And the printer still remain offline status. In HP Smart can't find the security setting in <Tools> or <Peference> also.
