I called support about it, opened the window (on the 3rd floor) and
defenestrated the printer while support was on the phone telling me to
reboot the computer. What's that noise they asked?, me opening the
window and me throwing your product out the window! You can't do that!
I just did! Weren't you listening? That's what I think of your product,
bye!
You should have heard it smash, a real satisfying crash sound.
I then bought a Brother multi-function color laser printer and never
been happier. Toner doesn't go dry waiting for next month's billing
cycle and it seems to last forever. Best ROI for office expense I ever
made. Toner might cost a little more than ink, but it lasts for many
more print jobs and doesn't dry out and clog jets.

Sounds like something that could be hacked.
What HP does to generate ink revenue is annoying. Everyone finds it
annoying, many articles have been written about it. I find at least a
dozen things every day annoying. I find I have to choose my battles,
and just give in most of the time.
If you only print in black, I’m not sure how you ran out of color ink,
but it seems like buying one set of HP brand ink would be a one time
purchase. How much would that cost? I know all 3 color toners for a
laser printer is a lot of money.
I wonder if there are places that use a hypodermic needle to refill
genuine HP cartridges. Maybe HP uses some other method than checking
if the cartridge is empty.

Make sure you specify to print in black next time, otherwise it uses
all 3 colors to make #000001 instead of the black cartridge.
The most expensive liquid is ink.

What a racket.
