> companies like HP started pushing out "security updates" that modified your printer to make it reject the third-party ink you'd paid for.. I figured out a Workaround for this. I install the crapware Driver-o-Software they want me to. Then I run "Double Driver 4.10 Portable" (not affiliated), I take a backup of the driver(s). Then I uninstall (or roll-back). Then the driver is still missing but I user my Double Driver folder backup (I keep in external disk), and booya! the device works without the crapware. It adds a couple more hoops in the experience, but it has worked like a charm. (I remember Steve Gibson mentioned DoubleDriver some years back on the SecurityNow podcast - I tried it, and I never looked back)
