HP sucks, but that sticker has instructions on where to start to peal it away.
They're obviously trying to get the whole family to wirelessly print with all their devices via WiFi to use up ink. And not just connected to dad's boring household accounting desktop.
- sliken 3y agoYes, and get the printer on the network where it can download new DRM behaviors to screw the users out of more ink. So far they retroactively added banning 3rd party ink, disabling ink once it gets too old, and of course not letting you print black if one of the other colors is out.

- sliken 3y agoShhh, don't give them ideas. What gets me is large parts of HP was cut (calculators, test instruments, laser printers, etc), not because they weren't profitable, but instead because they weren't as profitable as selling ink.
- quickthrower2 3y agoSomeone needs to tell them about diversifying investments lol! They are one disruption away from being a Kodak
