When you buy a printer ending with the letter ‘'e'', OfficeJet 8010 e for example, the manufacturer will block your right to buy compatible cartridges and will force you to buy only the expensive original cartridges...
You will have to change your printer in order to use the alternative products again...
The default setting on a printer checks for automatic firmware updates, so they happen without your knowledge and consent. Sounds convenient, but it's not. The updates serve one purpose: to detect and block the use of alternative cartridges, forcing you to buy the expensive, original cartridges sold by the printer manufacturer. By blocking alternative cartridges, automatic firmware updates on your printer will increase significantly your printing expenses and deprive your right to save.
