There is a German support document from HP saying: Print cartridges manufactured before April 2017 may not be compatible with HP DeskJet 2600, HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 2600, 5000, and 5200, HP Envy 5000, and HP OfficeJet 5200 series printers manufactured after (depending on the model of print cartridge used, see below for more information).Īnd Andreas found the article How to downgrade firmware on HP OfficeJet Pro 8610 to allow using old or refilled cartridges – UPDATE (HP official fw fix) on Land of Brozkeff with some explanation, how to downgrade a firmware that blocks 3rd party ink cartridges.Īnd I received this English comment from blog reader Wallace who has two HP 8600 Pro Printers and offered me to use one of this printer as a guinea pig. HP is blocking its own (HP no 302 and no 304) ink cartridges (some lots) for Deskjet, Envy and Officejet. I searched the internet and came across this German article ( here is the English article) which says: One, that he read about a case, that original HP ink jet cartridges refuse to work, if the expiration date is reached. He intends to test these ink cartridges with his HP ink jet printer.Īndreas mentioned also two things. He is facing the situation, that his HP ink jet printer isn't able to use 3rd party ink cartridges – but he found a source, where he was able to buy cheap original HP ink cartridges 'whose expiration date has expired'. German blog-reader Andreas left a comment about his case. Now, on JanuI suddenly received two independent comments, mentions the HP 3rd party ink cartridge issue. But it seems, that this wasn't a broader issue. Then in September 2018 I've published the blog post Is a HP Firmware Update blocking again Third Party Ink Cartridges?, because there has been similar signs, that another 'blocking' was active. But I wasn't able to verify that it was a firmware update – maybe, an old firmware was accidentally rolled out to some printers. In September 2017 I received feedback from a few users, reporting, that the 3rd party ink cartridge disaster came up again. Had reported about that within my post HP: New printer firmware re-enables refill ink cartridges.Īlso the site Motherboard has published the article Printer Makers Are Crippling Cheap Ink Cartridges Via Bogus 'Security Updates' in October 2018. They was forced to release an update that overrides the 'protection mechanism'. I've blogged about that within my blog post HP printer firmware disables refill ink cartridges and other articles (see the links at the article's end). Anyone using new third-party ink cartridges also received this error message.
