HP has implemented Dynamic Security in its printers to ensure they only work with HP-compatible cartridges, blocking third-party options via firmware updates. This restriction remains significant despite a recent settlement in a class-action case. Users of printers manufactured after December 1, 2016, may find themselves facing unexpected issues, as firmware updates could disable compatibility with non-HP cartridges. HP has a history of financial settlements related to these practices, underscoring ongoing concerns about user rights in the face of such restrictions.
HP's printers effectively block third-party cartridges using Dynamic Security through periodic firmware updates, leaving users at risk of losing functionality unexpectedly.
Despite a recent settlement, HP continues to maintain strict dynamic security measures, potentially preparing to block third-party ink usage on newer printer models.
