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
