no my printer rendering my 3rd party cartridges useless (until I swap the chips out which I plan on doing when the HP cartridges run dry). Better yet, the firmware update disabled the wired and wireless networking capability of the printer. While this is a known issue with the update, HP has done nothing to rectify it, let alone provide any troubleshooting assistance. It's taken me about a week to figure out how to get the printer to work again on my own. You can bet that I've disabled the automatic firmware up dates on the printer and that I will never buy another genuine HO product again.
The printer cartridges work good - i just think its a bunch of crap you made MY printer stop working because i use a different manufactures replacement cartridges.....
Most of my printouts are black ink. This color laser printer is really nice because I can choose to print only black most of the time and only the black cartridge runs out of toner. When I want something in color it’s ready to go and hasn’t dried up like inkjet printers do.
