We (where i work) wait for our HP to run out of ink... then that machine from hell will literally be thrown out of the Window as revenge for all the frustrations he caused.

bought for the extra big paper-tray - which broke after weeks - a known flaw... got replace a couple of times...

Broke since forever now, so tiny paper-feed it is...

Bonus: Shitty Scanner:
The feeder on the Scanner needs manual help 50% of the time. The 50% of the time it does work - it manages to grab multiple sheets (so you may miss some)

Its one of their "Professional" Models.

@mp I wish we would do that with all of the HP printers at my work.

About 90% of our printers are HP and they have constant issues

@nathans #HP is a horrible company when it comes to printers... They invented all the awful shit like "expiry date chips" on ink cartridges and such...

They invented a lot of stuff to limit the user and keep control over the printer you bought from them.

@mp @nathans The only companies, which aren't horrible when it comes to printers, are those who don't produce / sell printers.

@goedelchen @nathans There is less awful ones. Like the few that produce printers with Ink-Tanks instead of these horrible, horrible cartridges from hell.
