Disable HP cartridge protection

Hello
I am looking for a way to disable the cartridge protection on the HP ENVY PHOTO 6232 printer so that I can use cheaper cartridges.
Thank you for your help

Hello,
On the cartridges themselves, this would mean that we can replace the chips with authentic ones, which is hardly feasible.
Generic chips from such manufacturers never work, or chips from a brand that worked yesterday no longer function because they are not recognized as authentic.
I know that Easter is imminent, but the Holy Spirit has nothing to do with it: when instead of just using the printer's drivers and software, one installs bloatware like HP Smart and others, they connect online to modify the printer's firmware specifically to prevent the use of non-authentic chips, which means that if "the damage is done" there is no other hypothetical solution than to find and reinstall the previous firmware.
Or to replace one's inkjet printer with a Laser model that by definition does not have cartridges and is anyway more economical to use.
