Everybody knows that HP consistently makes one of the best computer printers. We also know that they charge an arm and a leg for their refill cartridges. Those of us who use our printers a lot cringe every time we have to purchase more cartridges, so we instinctively look for ways to cut those costs. We get cartridges refilled or we purchase off-brands.
When we install a refilled or off-brand cartridge, we usually get a warning. Well, HP has decided that if you are going to use their printers, you're going to have to do it their way... or else. From now on, instead of the warning message, your printer will just shut down and you'll be toast. That's right: you may own the printer, but you don't own the right to use at as you wish. Like it or not, if you want to print, you're going to have to pay the premium and purchase only their cartridges. Of course, the logical next step is that when you update the software for "security" reasons in your existing printer, that'll produce the same result when you go to replace cartridges: unless it's a genuine, new HP cartridge, you're not going to be printing anything soon. http://www.wnd.com/2016/09/hp-software-now-self-destructs-in-printers/
It'll be a cold day in hell before I ever do business with HP again.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
