HP has issued another wave of firmware updates across its printer portfolio, prompting renewed attention from the aftermarket industry.
Over the past fortnight, firmware releases have been rolled out affecting the following cartridge models:
Independent remanufacturers and suppliers remain alert, wary of potential restrictions on non-OEM cartridges.
Polish supplier THI Sp. z o.o. Sp. k. has confirmed its JetWorld and OXE branded cartridges remain fully compatible with the new firmware. The announcement offers reassurance to distributors and end-users reliant on cost-effective alternatives to HP originals.
HP’s frequent firmware updates have become a defining feature of its printer strategy, with new releases often arriving every few weeks. While officially designed to improve performance, security and reliability, these updates are closely monitored by the aftermarket amid concerns they may also restrict the use of third-party cartridges.
