Skeptical Optimist Intervention Needed
I have an HP color laser. It worked great with generic toner for a couple of
years. It would warn that it wasn't a genuine toner cartridge, but then allow you to print. Then they pushed a firmware update that made it not print unless it was a valid HP cartridge.

Fortunately I found a utility to download and reflash with the old firmware, and they also have a setting to not install new firmware automatically, so I was able to salvage it.
