I heard something different lately, that HP changed the drivers (at least
some), to, iirc, prevent people from using ink cartridges from other
manufacturers and to prevent people from refilling and reusing their old ink
cartridges.
Understanding this, I've made a note to myself to carefully avoid accidentally
updating the drivers in my HP 4 in 1 printer. (I haven't yet emptied any
cartridges, so I don't yet have first hand experience with trying to refill and
reuse any...)
Did I misunderstand?
