Product: 7740
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

HP seems to claim ownership on my rights to use my physical printer as I may see fit.  I wish to explore alternate inks, but the machine seems to be programmed to whine and complain about anything other than product by HP.  The firmware system by HP does not appear to allow "downgrading" to previous versions such as may allow experimenting with other inks.  Is there any fair and reasonable path to finding and using such software.
