I heard something different lately, that HP changed the drivers (at least 
some), to, iirc, prevent people from using ink cartridges from other 
manufacturers and to prevent people from refilling and reusing their old ink 
cartridges.

Understanding this, I've made a note to myself to carefully avoid accidentally 
updating the drivers in my HP 4 in 1 printer.  (I haven't yet emptied any 
cartridges, so I don't yet have first hand experience with trying to refill and 
reuse any...)

Did I misunderstand?
