HP wants you to pay up to $36/month to rent a printer that it monitors::"Never own a printer again."

I recently trashed my HP and bought a really old Dell LaserJet from government auction. $25 and it came with a 60% full toner. Been using it for 2 months and still have 54% toner left.

I'll probably never replace this thing and keep fixing it until I can't find parts anymore.

Why should I care about company X launching Y, where Y is uninnovative? I percieve this post as an ad

HP can go fuck themselves

I still own a HP laser printer (older model from 5-10 years ago) which does not have the online connectivity requirement and the third party cartridges could last for ages.

As long as the printer dies I will forget HP and its bullshit exists and never touch their products again.

I wouldn't pay $36 for an HP printer that they didn't monitor much less per month

My last HP printer had a serial port. It was all down hill from there.

I'll just print off the odd thing I need a paper copy of from work and continue as I've done for a dexade by puposefully denying myself from the sincere privilege of paying HP another god damned red cent for as long as draw breath, kthxbai. 🖕

Too bad my old employer stopped allowing employees to access the printers. You have to email your document to a printer admin and they will print it for you.

We had that happen too after someone "accidentally" printed 3000 copies of all black.

My last printer was an hp , the ink only lasted a few months. I’m done with it. At most I print a few items per month so we now go to fedex office and have it printed there for $0.20

Printing is dead removed. Die with it and scrabble for your final pennies
