Good Job HP. Now you can't even use your own cartridges. Good Job.... Tell me you hire DEI/Pajeets without telling me.

From the post:

>HP, along with other printer brands, is infamous for issuing firmware updates that brick already-purchased printers that have tried to use third-party ink. In a new form of frustration, HP is now being accused of issuing a firmware update that broke customers’ laser printers—even though the devices are loaded with HP-brand toner. The firmware update in question is version 20250209, which HP issued on March 4 for its LaserJet MFP M232-M237 models. Per HP, the update includes “security updates,” a “regulatory requirement update,” “general improvements and bug fixes,” and fixes for IPP Everywhere. Looking back to older updates’ fixes and changes, which the new update includes, doesn’t reveal anything out of the ordinary. The older updates mention things like “fixed print quality to ensure borders are not cropped for certain document types,” and “improved firmware update and cartridge rejection experiences.” But there’s no mention of changes to how the printers use or read toner.

They don't work anyway.

Even brother printers hate the host company so much the new firmware suicided them.

lol. I pretend I don't have a printer, just some hunk of white plastic that says "envy".

Envy the person that doesn't have an hp printer.

Not that I care, but I'm guessing this is a diversity problem.
