HP requiring always online has destroyed this brand. Can't stand printers as a rule but these guys make John Deer look Laissez-faire.

Re: Firmware update bricks HP printers, makes them unable to use HP cartridges
I used to love HP everything.
I was trained to repair printers, plotters, laserjets, servers. . . calculators! You could tell it was designed to be repaired, and the repair kits were often better that original.
How far they have fallen.
