Seen this so many times and glad to keep seeing it.
More people being informed on these scummy practices to look out for and avoid is a good thing.
I'm not glad that I keep seeing it. They were using managed printing i.e. pay-per-page. HP may make garbage and overcharge for ink, but I'm sick of people tapping the up arrow on low effort posts like this.
I will happily upvote anything that rags on HP printers, I don't care how low effort it is. In fact, I would hate to think someone spent actual effort on anything HP related.
HP printers have been kicking puppies and insulting your mother for well over 20 years. Wait, they haven't? Well, after a certain point a company has burned so much good will by making marginal printers, less-than marginal drivers and artificially differentiating inks and toners to such a degree it's hard to see it as anything other than profiteering... pant pant ...that nobody cares if it's unfair or inaccurate.
Don't buy HP. Think of the puppies. Think of your mother, for God's sake!
HP turned my mother into a newt!
I just don't see the point in spreading misinformation. I have had almost entirely bad experiences with HP, but that doesn't mean I go around spreading lies.
The point in shitting on HP is to shit on HP. Not sure what other point you're looking for. Are you concerned that people are going to start feeling sympathetic?
No, i just don't want to see misinformation period. The reason the printer wasn't working is because they were on a managed printing plan, not because HP was trying to pull one over on them.
