My Dad was affected by this and I am now pissed after performing [Parental Support]. I had told him not to buy HP but he still thinks it is the 80s. Well, thankfully Brother Printers is now in my country and so I can smash that HP with a large hammer and call it a day.

On the discussion about this yesterday here, someone pointed out that Brother printers have gone the same route. Be careful before you buy.
I believe it's Epson who have the tank printers, you can put whatever ink you'd like I to them by design.
Brother has them as well. Hell, even HP does, for their business injet printers[0].

Those are also the printers that track in software if the 'waste ink reservoir' is full (which happends after a certain number of printouts) and brick when they reach the limit requiring you to send the printer to the manufacturer.
