This printer is intended to work only with cartridges that have a new or reused HP chip, and it uses dynamic security measures to block cartridges using a non-HP chip. Periodic firmware updates will maintain the eﬀectiveness of these measures and block cartridges that previously worked. A reused HP chip enables the use of reused, remanufactured, and re-filled cartridges. More at:
