Exact same situation. Avoid inkjet. Laser b/w if you need photo quality send to print

Unfortunately, laser printers have chips counting the lifetime too, e.g. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-e&q=Samsung+M... . Or the HP logic bomb mentioned above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28889672 (it was actually a logic bomb, as the check was AFAIK activated several months after the FW upgrade was released).

This is true in some form, my printer says I am low in ink when I used a non original catrdrige. Slightly annoying
