Which printer is compatible with white-brand cartridge

Hello,

I had an HP OfficeJet Pro 9720e and I don’t know how I activated the HP+ service (A NEVER DO), so by putting third-party cartridges the printer refused and worse, revoked its warranty.

Impossible to print (HP asks me 25 euros to unlock it)

By reading, I could buy a new one and not activate the HP+ service but that cooled me down :)

My question in the title is this

Which printer can be used by filling cartridges with bottles and syringes or at best have Series B cartridges and that the printer accepts with simple manipulations.

Thanks in advance

Michael

    Hello,

    There is nothing preventing you from removing the HP Instant Ink system, but it is a subscription, and we will not be able to return to traditional cartridges until the fees of this subscription have been settled and, in any case, the cat-and-mouse game with compatible cartridges will not be resolved, which, depending on the brand, the timing, or the captain's age, will work or not.

    Ink tank printers generally do not have chips unless they are fed not in bulk but by a tank itself equipped with such a chip; by their very construction, laser printers seldom have them.

      No, in fact, at the time of installation it's subtle (we're not talking about a subscription)

      HP installs a communication system (only for communication) called HP+ and this even if you do not take the ink service.

      My question thus narrowed down to:

      Which brand allows you to install third-party brand cartridges?

        I also have a HP (PC, not printer) from which one can (and in my view should) uninstall all the HP “utilities” except those that are indispensable (in my case the audio driver is packaged in an HP application).

        Similarly for a printer, there is no obligation to install all the “utilities” and in both cases there is nothing to allow their connections either.

        I am not a good reference when it comes to printers; I have a multifunction that dates back to the dinosaurs, which has run out of ink for a long time and which I only use as a scanner and deliberately a black-and-white Laser (Brother HL-L2445DW) into which I put whatever I want, original or compatible toners and drums.

        The extra cost at purchase isn’t that large since there are no color consumables and the ink doesn’t dry out.

        Color models are much more expensive (almost twice as much, roughly around €250), it’s up to everyone to decide according to the frequency of use (ink drying out) and the possibility of using compatible consumables if they find themselves in that situation.
