Microsoft to kill off third-party printer drivers in Windows::Go native or go home: End of servicing plan rolled out for legacy printer drivers in fresh update
I’m not sure what you think is happening here, the outrage is because HP printers won’t scan if they have no ink, there is no network connection going on here.
if this makes you realize what is going on, it would be helpful if you amended your more upvoted answer to state that, so that people don’t get misinformed
I was commenting about this : https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/news/article-10755577/Printers-remotely-disabled-customer-cancels-ink-subscription.html
If you stop your subscription to instant ink, your cartridge you received through it, are disabled, even if they stay filled.
Cool, so that’s a different thing and also relies on your printer having it’s own network connection which most do these days. It has nothing to do with drivers.
It would be helpful if you updated your original comment to stop the misinformation now
