Yup. You fucked yourself. HP printers are absolute garbage in every conceivable way. Genuinely not worth your time or effort to try and work around it.
Buy any other brand. Brother is usually the recommendation if you actually want quality that will last and be serviceable.
It wasn't an HP printer when I bought it, it was samsung, and it's a very good printer.
But I'm guessing HP bought out that particular line of printers; they then would have pushed a firmware update to make those just as bad as their own offerings. They make their money forcing you to use their cartridges; that's why a whole printer with both cartridges is only ~$10 more than just the ink most of the time.
Seriously, cut your losses and move on.
