How to revert HP printer’s ban on 3rd-party ink cartridges

Thanks. This is useful info.

Brother's site says my printer does support AirPrint. And through the printer's internal web server, I can see under Network -> Protocol that AirPrint is there and enabled.

I have the binary blob driver installed, so I guess this explains why two entries appear for this printer under Printer settings in Ubuntu.

So, a minor mystery is solved, and I now see that I have the option of removing this driver.

I just last week got a new Brother printer and went through the process of installing the proprietary driver, which for some reason requires the 32 bit version of libc. I had ignored the "Airprint" option because I assumed it had something to do with wireless printing. Apparently it did originally, but now it has more to do with driverless printing. So yes, thank you.

I have a Brother MFC printer on my network and my Ubuntu has it popping up automatically after install. No drivers were needed. Installing on Windows takes more work.
