Comment Re:How many more "HP sucks ass" stories do we need (Score 1) 166

I have a multi-function HP. And when it eventually dies, I will never again buy a HP.

I've been considering Epson precisely because of their Ecotanks -- they're clearly trying to capitalise on consumer antipathy towards HP's consumables strategy.

Many other posts here speak quite highly of Brother. Any thoughts on Epson?

Binge (Australia) had a Black Friday offer of $2/month for 3 months; their ad tier.
I signed-up ... after all, $2 wasn't even worth considering.

Oh my! There were so many ads! I persevered for a few nights and then had to cancel. I couldn't bear to watch.

That experience has scared me off any ad tier. I think I'd prefer to have a single, ad free service at any given time: devour everything of interest and then move on, like a good little frugal locust.

Comment Re:Do not buy HP printers. Seriously. (Score 1) 112

Like many people on Slashdot, I'm the person in my circle of family / friends who people approach regarding IT purchases. (For their kids, home office, etc.)

A week ago, I would have recommended against HP printers because of their antics around cartridges.
Reading today's story further entrenches that resolve. Indeed, HP has that much more reputation to mend before I consider their printers.

I've only ever used the manufacturer's cartridges for every inkjet & laser printer I've ever owned -- I did go generic for printer ribbons back in the dot matrix days -- so one would think I'd be indifferent regarding HP's behaviour. In fact, I find it offensive and overly-aggressive.
