You probably heard that HP recently upgraded its firmware for several printers that caused the non-OEM cartridges to stop working. It seems that HP is up to the same tricks as it was last year, when in March 2018, California federal court Judge Edward Davila ruled against HP that printer-disabling firmware updates are illegal because they "intentionally cause damage" to the printer "without authorization."
