But I will never buy another HP again. They screw you on the ink, and they are apparently using DRM so you can't use third party ink. Screw that. Never again.
It's a shame we can't override such shenanigans with custom drivers. That and things like scanner/printer combos wasting all your ink when you scan to file without any printing. It's also annoying that it wastes several minutes of your time doing that crap before it'll let you scan something. I don't want to ever buy a combo unit again.
During the plague shutdowns there was some supply issues, so codes were released for people to enter to override non-chipped ink tanks on some models. So there are ways to override that crap.
Just sell your ink at reasonable prices and we'll buy the genuine stuff instead of the crap cheapies.
