> I must have the last good HP printer or something. Mine is the "HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw"

I have some of those in my care. They perform fine but they are locked to chipped cartridges.

And when HP learned their customers were moving the chips to 3rd party cartridges, HP worked out a method to cement the chips in place - to make it as hard on their customers as they possibly could.

When I referenced HP with the terms Hostility and Sabotage, it was the M281's I had in mind. Although, crapware applies too. They're reason #4,009,175 to never buy HP.
