That is not how the Warranty works.

The Warranty is a limited time hardware assurance coverage contract.

The Warranty status is not related to whether the device, a printer in this case, works or not.

Said another way:

HP does NOT lock a device because of its Warranty status.

=================================================

Perhaps you are asking about something else.

For example, if you had an Instant Ink subscription and you (or HP) have terminated that service contract, then yes - there are changes required to continue to use the printer: 

Instant Ink cartridges only work with an active Instant Ink contract. 

What? 

When the Instant Ink Service contract is terminated, however that happens, all Instant Ink cartridges will lock and cannot be used in any printer.  The Instant Ink cartridges must be removed from the printer.  Purchase and install a set of HP ink cartridges for the printer.
