And you are right, updates don't just creep in.  The computer driving this printer is ethernet connected and I have allowed updates, which have generally been beneficial in the past.  Issues with pulling paper from the second bin, and improper page scaling under certain conditions were well appreciated corrections.

My home printer is a Brother MFC-L3745CDW, ethernet-connected. It's a basic multi-function laser printer. Software and firmware updates are turned off, so that cloned cartridges from Ebay
continue to work (and  they work well). PCs using it run Win7, Win8, Win10, and Linux

Maybe check with Ebay sellers, to see if they have cartridges that work with your printer's firmware version?

Speaking of updates that just creep in: "HP printer software turns up uninvited on Windows systems"
