I read this so often that this is the solution and I hate it. This is definitely not the answer. The majority of people just see a cheap printer and buy it without being informed about the long term costs. If you just stop buying without speaking up, they still get tons of sales of the uninformed and will keep trying to find other ways to get the most money out of them.
