How to Disable HP Cartridge Protection on Your Printer?



HP has introduced so-called cartridge protection settings on its original ink cartridges. The system locks the original cartridges in a specific printer, so you won’t be able to use them on other printers. If you have an Officejet Pro 6978 all in one printer and decide to purchase an Officejet Pro 6968 all in one printer which uses the same Ink Cartridges–HP 902 and HP 902XL, it will not work for the ink to use in the new printer. In addition, you will not be able to refill, recycle or use third-party compatible ink cartridges after the original ink cartridge runs out of, because HP and its ink cartridge protection system do not allow this.



Fortunately, there is a way to disable HP cartridge protection and make compatible ink cartridges work on your printer. What’s more, even if you don’t have any technical knowledge, you can do it yourself relatively easily.
