Today I replaced a HP Laserjet that ran a firmware update. Shame on me for not keeping it from phoning home. Four toner cartridges inside, 70% filled or higher

Today I replaced a HP Laserjet that ran a firmware update. Shame on me for not keeping it from phoning home.
Four toner cartridges inside, 70% filled or higher, and after the update I see "supply error" on the screen. Turns out my aftermarket toner cartridges, which have worked for several hundred prints without problem – and I'm on the fourth purchase of these same aftermarket cartridges – are now DRM locked and will not print.
block out all from inet 10.10.10.5 to any
I'll not make this mistake with the Brother I'm unboxing now.
