HP confirms DRMing its ink cartridges
 

Gotta keep it expensive

The maker of expensive printer ink, HP has confirmed that it has DRMed its printers so that they will only use its expensive cartridges.

Since last week, reasonably priced third-party ink cartridges no longer work and it appears that HP has now fessed up to installing a DRM system. HP told Wired hat the purpose of the DRM update was to protect HP’s innovations and intellectual property.
