doesn’t help that printer ink is one of the most expensive liquids in the world and the whole business model of printer companies is based on selling overpriced ink, so much so that they sell printers at a loss and then try to block out third party cartridges

My Brother monochromatic printing ~3000 pages per cartridge going brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

They have to print the invisible printer identification dots somehow.

Who needs color anyway? A black laser printer is the way to go :)

And that isn’t even getting into their drivers and software. Foolish me bought a printer with a scanner and thought I’d be able to just install one little piece of software and be able to print and scan. How silly of me to forget that I to search Google to find instructions that weren’t provided by HP, and download an application that the printer’s instructions did not tell me to install, in order to get the it working.

I almost want this printer to die just so I can never own an HP printer again in my life.

What does HP stand for? I think this post isn’t related to health points or Harry Potter.
