      Feels like they waited just long enough for the initial controversy to die down. It’s so pathetic to see HP reduced to the tech equivalent of a pay-day-loan business.

    Who the fuck still buys HP printers?! Or really HP anything?

    I have a Lexmark color laser that’s been rock solid. I know people love to push Brother, but I had a bad experience years ago that’s left a sour taste in my mouth. I usually opt for Canon or Lexmark.

    Years ago I had an HP all-in-one. Every time I’d turn it on it would do a “print test” wasting ink. I got fed up one time and stomped that fucker to death office space style (without the Ghetto Boys accompaniment). Fuck HP in the ass with a rusty razor wire wrapped pipe.

      sounds like a real cathartic moment you had there smashing your machine, but when I was fed up with my printer I simply took it back to the store and got a refund.

      Except at least some of the printers will refuse to work with anything except genuine HP ink cartridges.

      The solution is never to have anything to do with Hewlett Packard, especially printers.

      I don’t even print ten pages in a year. But for that reason I do not own a printer and just go to the library when I do need one.
