Do they think this kind of shit happens in a bubble!? That people who know better don't read the news?? Any time I can, I order Lexmark, Epson, and Brother printers/faxes, as well as Dell and Lenovo PCs/laptops/servers/peripherals to replace anything HP.
Seriously, HP printers are so bad, they've soured me on the whole company, despite not having personality owned one in the past decade. These kinds of predatory, dishonest, anti-consumer practices from the top down is the sign of a company I want no part of.
Brother printers are great. If only because they don't add all the pointless bullshit add-on "features" that everyone else does.
Brother printers, they're just printers. Nothing more, nothing less.
They also take third party ink.
We're kind of locked in to Lexmark for most of our printers, but I thought Brother printers now disallow 3rd-party ink/toner? Not their fax machines though, and still better than HP...
