Expensive refills on ink/toner I can accept. It’s been like that forever. What I can not accept is how useless the HP printer/scanner is without HP smart. In windows I literally cannot do anything unless I’m signed into their stupid service. In Linux I just grab generic drivers and do whatever I want. So it’s obviously not baked into the printer. I can’t wait to get a new one from another brand, just need one good reason to make more e-waste.

What does HP stand for? I think this post isn’t related to health points or Harry Potter.
Horrible Products
Hewlett Packard
HP is a brand that makes printers. But more recently they’ve started moving into the ink / ink subscription business.
Or it maybe stands for HungryPhrog???

Am I the worst? :(
No one’s worse than Hewlitt Packard
Absolutely not. I just skimmed your post history here on Lemmy. You seem like good people.

“Hold Please”. I have a Pagewide 8000XL and a HP Latex L360. These things are always in a “please wait” state.
