After one year and half of service, my HP printer updated (without my consent) and blocked the third-party ink cartridge I’ve been using for months without troubles. Luckily, I bought it on Amazon so I just returned it and bought a Brother printer that has been working fine since then. The best way to stop a brand from doing bullshit practices is showing your friends how easy it is to avoid them. Just buy a Brother and HP won’t have any cent more from me.

Years ago I bought a printer from a manufacturer that wasn't HP. HP then bought the brand and migrated everything into their platforms. Thankfully I'm still going through the toner I purchased beforehand a decade later.
