@njudah wtf #hp literally does an account-based #DRM on their printers?

How's that even legal??

Thx for the info!

Now I know to never buy that shit ever...

@lori @Aglaia89 @njudah The only reason I still have my #DeskJet6122 up and running is because it refuses to die and it's ink cartridges refuse to dry up.

@[email protected] @[email protected] WTF!? So people can't even sell their used ink?? Okay, that's it! #Inkjet printers are now 100% #Scam at best if not #ReducedLifecycle-based, intentional #eWaste and every retailer selling that shit in lieu of #Toner is complicit in the grift!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHX6tHdQGiQ

@kkarhan @Aglaia89 @njudah I have a Canon MP250 printer/scanner and have yet to have a reason to replace it. And it has taken an absolute beating over the years (and has some puppy teeth marks now too). I would definitely not give it up for weird ass DRM ink.

@lori @kkarhan @Aglaia89 @njudah I have a canon tank based printer and I was very particular about not getting any of that DRM shit it's so ridiculous

I'm just gald that #hp stuff works with everything out of the box - including even ancient and latest #Linux distros...

The only machines with better compatibility are #NeedlePrinters and #Xerox #WorkCentre Laser machinces, cuz those even come with #MSDOS, #OS2 and #Unix drivers for obscure stuff like #Solaris 7.x #HPUX and #AUX...
