HP scam: it is manipulating your printer to sell more ink

HP will face class-action for bricking all-in-one printers when ink is low.
HP is being accused of blocking virtually all device functions unnecessarily when ink is low, and of deliberately withholding that information from the consumer in order to boost profits by selling expensive ink cartridges.
HP has faced several lawsuits previously for forcing the consumer to purchase only original cartridges, and not making it clear at the time of purchase.

I got an hp printer brand new, then it stopped working due to the “subscription for ink”. So I decided to pay for new carts and low and behold it wouldn’t let me. Long story short, I love the laptops but the printers suck bad🙏🏽 I still have a new printer and have no clue who I can sell it to😢 don’t want them to have the same problem I did, that’s wild.

HP is a scam of a company. They could have easily been the kings of printers but their greed didn't allow it.

The reason i never buy or sell HP printers to my customers any more. Long time ago that were really nice products (HP LJ 2200 era), but today, plastic garbage

I will NEVER purchase any HP product again. Let me clarify: I sold the first HP laser printers, as well as their bubble-jet printer. Back then, you could drop a HP LaserJet off the back of a moving van and it'd probably still work. Same thing with their computers: great components that were thoughtfully married together to make a wonderful instrument.

I don't know if it happens with every maker, but the Epson I had did the same with the printing; if I ran out of 1 color ink, black printing would stop too. Fortunately they don't do that with the scan function (yet).

I will never buy any of HP's products again. Mine was only a couple years old and in the middle of printing it just suddenly shut off and It would not turn on again. I chucked it in the trash and bought an Epson and I like it a lot better. It's sad because they used to make great products.

Our company has used HP computers and printers for years. Because of HP's predatory and unethical business practices with respect to its printers, we've gotten rid of all HP printers, and we are transitioning to other brands. I have an HP 10B business calculator that has worked wonderfully since the early 1990s. It still works beautifully. How sad to see a once respectable organization like HP decide to take a nose dive into the corporate sewer.

Credit card expires and now my hp printers say ink levels are zero when yesterday they were all over 50% now forcing me to pay for my ink I already paid for never hp anything ever again scam

HP immediately sends you a notification if you CC expires. If you let it expire without changing to the replacement card your CC company sends you, that is on you. Why are you blaming them?

Here you can go to an office supply store or even a kiosk and have them scan/print whatever shit you want. No need for a scanner or printer at your home.

Im talking about small/ medium Hp and Epson printers. I would never buy them. I choose Canon, not perfect. At least they still accept refill Cartridges and original cartridge is less exspensive.

@yxmichaelxyyxmichaelxy3074 Ай бұрын

The refill cartridges still have the Canon chips on them.

They are being sued for having a monopoly on their own product. They refuse to allow generic inks in their printers. Has absolutely nothing to do with their subscription which is legit. You have options. Do not buy their printers. Simple.

Yet another person who fails to understand how the subscription works. Cancels Netflix subscription, then demands to know why he can no longer watch movies on Netflix.

My TV won't stop working if I don't pay for Netflix. Scanner does not need ink.

@yxmichaelxyyxmichaelxy3074 Ай бұрын

@@theshellchannel Kid, I have had the subscription for years now. The cost of those years of subscription in totality are still beneath the cost of new cartridges. Your analogy is ridiculous. Your TV does not rely upon Netflix to operate, your printer absolutely relies upon the ink to operate. Why do you think the cartridges have chips in them? If you continue to use the subscription ink, and you have no subscription, that is tantamount to theft. So the cartridge, not the printer is disabled. As for the scanner, I have experienced no such difficulties.

If EVERYONE knows their printers do not accept generic cartridges, how is it a scam? Can any of you guess why HP will nit accept generic cartridges? Let me help you. Imagine you are a printer manufacturer. There is tons of competition out there. I order to survive as a business, you need to keep that cash flow coming. They sell their printers at a loss. The only way to recoup those losses is through the ink. If they allowed generic cartridges, they would be out of business within a fortnight. Where are you going to obtain printers then? Don't you Lefties support the workers? 'Workers of the world unite!' Remember your beloved mantra? How many of you own a hammer and sickle flag?
