Dynamic Security Enabled Printers

This printer is intended to work only with cartridges that have a new or reused HP chip. A reused HP chip enables

the use of reused, remanufactured, and relled cartridges.

and serve other purposes, but these updates can also block cartridges using a non-HP chip from working in

the printer, including cartridges that work today. Unless you are enrolled in certain HP programs such as Instant
