I had lot of after market cartridges which used to work. I was stupid enough to update the firmware on the printer and now none of them work.

I see that all printers have cartridges which have chips on them so that they can prevent customers from refilling the cartridge themselves.

I wonder if any Morden day printer doesn't have chipped cartridges.
