Reminder to never buy an HP printer

FlashMobOfOne, 4 months ago

Luckily I live a block from a library, so I don’t have to.

HP bricked my last printer after 100 pages printed because I didn’t sign up for their shitty, scammy subscription.

Get a Brother instead. Mine is like 20 years old and still going strong, although the nic is starting to die.

Definitely not the end user.

I haven't had a printer for over 10 years. Waste of money and resources.

The laserjets were ok.

Also: HP acquired Samsung at one point. Last time I tried to install the very shitty spywarey samsung printer experience software, HP referred me to a page on Samsung's website. A page which was in Korean and did not have an obvious link to the english language version of the site.

I've given up, now only print via usb and no longer use the scanner.

By the way, you can also print via USB from smartphone using the NokoPrint app on Android. Unfortunately, it’s closed-source, filled with ads, and relies on some servers to download the drivers. I use it with my ancient HP PSC1315.

Sounds like a threat.
