    The printer wouldn’t even scan without ink though.

    I’m also not in the USA.

      I’m also not in the USA.

      Neither am I. Tech hardware laws that pass in the US get applied everywhere and the law may have been passed elsewhere as well. All I know is that pretty much all printers worldwide do this.

      Why the scanning thing happens, I have no idea. I had not read the law it may be so broad “Devices that can print are not allowed to function without the ability to print the colour dots” that they must be disabled until they can print colour.
