The suit, filed earlier this year, argues that HP all-in-one printers stop all functions when ink levels reach some arbitrary point.

Did they do anything about the cartridges yet? Some printers detect when cartridges have been refilled by the user and are programmed to stop working then. That's not just with HP printers, but across the board. Even at consumer level, the prices of a cartridge is criminal compared to a bottle of inkjet ink, with enough for many dozen refills.

Cartridge: $50

10 fl oz of printer ink: $12

This is absurd. I would like to hear how this benefits the consumer without attempting to talk about "quality" or something. This would be like my car not starting cause I didn't use Shell gas.

What's more upsetting is that printers are client side all the way. There is nothing about them that needs to reach out to the Internet to print pages. The printer itself handles the "letting you print." So the thing sitting on your desk, that you own, is choosing this for you.

Seems like one of those things some bearded nerd would get very upset about.

There is one thing that I like and use which is printing remotely on my printer over the internet.

However, I don't need HP's shitty services for that, there are better solutions out there
