I didn't mean a boycott as such - I have an HP printer, and I knew when I bought it that it requires proprietary/DRM ink. I'm surprised any customers who care about ink DRM would have bought an HP printer. Their website is full of pages about the "anti-counterfeit" ink security in their printer products. I do hope the customers this affects can get refunds, but it seems to me that if you want a printer where you can refill the ink yourself or use third-party cartridges, it would be better to just buy a printer from a company that already supports that.
