Of all the things the EU have taken a hard line on why can’t printers not being total assholes be one of them? This is way more annoying than cookies.

- saalweachter 2y agoAre there major printer manufacturers in Europe?
- stuff4ben 2y agoDoes that matter? I would think it's whoever wants to sell to European consumers that matters.
- mystified5016 2y agoIrrelevant. The law would mandate requirements for printers sold in the territory. If it's non-compliant, it can't legally be sold. Doesn't matter if HP is an American company, their products would be illegal to sell in the EU. They have to produce a compliant product or just not sell anything.
- saalweachter 2y agoI'm actually wondering the opposite. If 90% of printers in the EU are manufactured by foreign companies that's more in line with their consumer-friendly regulations targeting US tech companies, than if there's a local printer monopoly benefiting from outrageous ink prices.
