This document explains how to disable HP printer cartridge protection to allow the use of compatible or remanufactured inks after encountering error messages related to locked cartridges. Users can remove this protection through the printer's control panel settings or by accessing the printer's IP address. It advises that disabling this setting may need to be repeated after printer firmware updates and provides contact information for assistance.

2. If your HP printer is offering you an error message such as HP cartridges
locked or any other message that states something about HP cartridge
protection, then it sounds like you have fallen victim to a printer firmware
update & you will certainly be having trouble employing compatible or
remanufactured inks. You may also notice a message like ‘Used or
counterfeit ink cartridge detected ’.
We comprehend your annoyance, and agree that everyone deserves to
choose for themselves whether or not they wish to use third party inks in
their printer without having their HP cartridges locked to another printer.
Don’t worry, here I will show you how to fix this issue and remove HP
Cartridge Protection so that it can be bypassed.

3. How to take off cartridge protection in two easy steps
To take off, disable or bypass the cartridge protection setting on your HP
printer you will need to use either the settings on the printer control panel (for
printers not connected to the internet) or you will need the printers IP address
for printers that are connected to the internet.
For non-internet connected printers – Find the devices and printers section in
your control panel, then select your hp printer. Find the cartridge protection
tab in the HP toolbox and click the disable cartridge protection option & save.
For internet connected printers – Go to your printer and in the settings menu
find your printers i.p address. Note this down and type it into a browser search
bar which will take you to your printer configuration page. Click settings and
disable cartridge protection.

4. Please note that when your printer updates again, this setting could be auto
enabled again so you can prevent updates by switching them off in the web
services section.
This should resolve your issue and any new cartridges that you install won’t
be protected however if you do install a compatible or re manufactured
cartridge that has been previously protected by another printer, this will not
work and you’ll need to get a replacement from your supplier.

5. Thank you…
