I have been using this printer successfully until Feb 2020 using OS Catalina from a MacBook Pro with non HP generic replacement cartridge. I did not use it for 11 month as I was travelling. Now when I try to print, the print manager shows the document sending to printer but instead of printing the print manager simply clears the document. I have tried running tests and re-installing the print manager. I have read elsewhere that HP are introducing 'upgrades' in an attempt to prevent use of third party replacement cartridges (which would appear to be illegal under EU law). The printer worked fine when I left Italy with the same non-HP third party cartridge and same OS software installed on MacBook Pro, so I conclude the problem is with HP software.
Can anyone please advise - or should I ditch the HP printer and buy a new one from Brother? Thanks.
