HP printers have a number of advantages unlike other brands, since they don't need to be reset every hundred sheets, because they print continuously. Although the sensors or the chip detect that there is no count or that there is a generic chip, the printer continues to work.
The HP brand has implemented automatic updating but blocks and does not allow the use of cartridges. Preferably it would be good to know if a cartridge is genuine or fake, for the same reason you may have some drawbacks with this option so, it is better to disable it.
