I just want my printer to print without the smart stuff
how can I do that I use non ink cause it’s cheaper but Hp smart won’t let me print
HP Smart is likely enforcing the ink use policy already present in the printer you purchased.
If you purchased one of the printer models that comes with HP+ as part of the machine, then you must sign up for HP+. I'm aware of a couple of laser printer models that are "HP+" only.
If you purchased an InkJet Printer where HP+ is an option, you need only choose to set up the printer without the HP+ service.
That said,
New HP Printers are protected with Dynamic Security.
The printer requires HP Cartridges -- which might be able to be reused.
The key is the HP chip in the cartridge.
Which Ink Can be Used in the Printer?
