    Apparently Brother, and some Lexmark, printers don’t come with this BS DRM baked into the firmware.

    Has anyone cracked the HP firmware to give us proper access to our hardware?

      Thanks to DMCA, circumventing this protection and sharing it with people is illegal.

      Honestly hasn’t stopped people in the past but I suspect it hasn’t been cracked because of how it connects to an external server to verify. Probably need to patch the firmware entirely
