There are multiple models of the affected printers but the one I had issues with and I was able to solve was the OfficeJet Pro 8610.
Pushing an older 2014 firmware that still did NOT contain the timebomb code to the printer via netcat solved the problem. Disabling WebServices and any future firmware updates on the printer and banning it on the firewall hopefully keeps the printer working normally with any cartridge.
If you are interested, use Google to find the manual I wrote with all the links how to do it:
