most** hp printers don’t ship with the hard-core third-party ink/toner block. that’s in the firmware updates.

never update the firmware of an hp printer if you use, or think you might want to use some day, third-party consumables or refills.

if you ‘subscribe’ to ink, you’re fucked, as that service requires automatic firmware updates be enabled.

**some do now, those should be labeled as such on the box–‘must use hp ink for life of printer’ or some bullshit.
