Who knew HP sauce did printers as well, what an unexpected turn
@FrazzledBrynn isn't HP sauce just how you regain your health in video games!?
@FrazzledBrynn you mean you never bothered to crack open those inkjet cartridges and take a sip?
@FrazzledBrynn They were also the first to insert their brand into RPGs
@diffractie @FrazzledBrynn alas, it could have been 256 ml just to be extra punny.

@CZEdwards @diffractie @FrazzledBrynn 255 is the value of the largest unsigned 8-bit integer, this is all good.

One more gram and it will overflow!

@diffractie @FrazzledBrynn can't use barbecue sauce because vinegar is empty
@diffractie @FrazzledBrynn this labeling for a bulk ink tank system would be _amazing_

@diffractie @FrazzledBrynn

that explains the new pricing structure: £3 a month if you put up to 10 dollops of HP sauce on a plate, £7 a month up to 25, etc... and the bottles now detect when they're empty and automatically order replacements

but if you just want a bottle of HP sauce to use when you want, that'll be £35, and after a month it'll clog up and need to be thrown out. and if you try to reuse them for other kinds of spicy fruity sauce, they block up and trigger a lawsuit

@FrazzledBrynn “you are out of brown ink”
@FrazzledBrynn JK Rowling has diversified her wizard book brand quite heavily.
@FrazzledBrynn and if you go far enough back, it did scientific equipment that didn’t suck

Replacement finally arrived
Bigger than I thought
Buggy driver and prolific unnecessary apps
Honeymoon 1
Ink costs WHAT !
Honeymoon 2
Stock up on ink ..
Oops
Smudgy, streaky crumply
Messy failure to repair
Even more messy ‘adjustment’
Curses, many curses

Repeat cycle 😂

@FrazzledBrynn Vastly different quality control though. The cartridge ran out of cyan 2 pages into a 20 page job and refuses to print any color.

But judging by the noises, the sauce on yesterday's sandwich is still hard at work in my gut.

@FrazzledBrynn my printer is a Houses of Parliament printer
@u0421793 @FrazzledBrynn So what you are saying is that it never works or is on vacation.
@FrazzledBrynn
tbh they probably work better than a non HP sauce one.
