Jokes on you buddy, I've ditched my HP printers because of this nonsense. They literally locked me out of a printer all of a sudden after an update, deciding my cartridge bought from HP was no longer valid. Not to mention, just sitting there the inks use themselves up, I'm guessing just drying out from crappy design.
Same.
Hated having to throw out a basically new printer, but it's better than encouraging this bullshit.
