I read this so often that this is the solution and I hate it. This is definitely not the answer. The majority of people just see a cheap printer and buy it without being informed about the long term costs. If you just stop buying without speaking up, they still get tons of sales of the uninformed and will keep trying to find other ways to get the most money out of them.
The answer is simple, stop buying new printers that do this, keep your old one or buy a used one. Hurt them in their profits.
I think it’s time to attempt some regulation. Probably won’t happen but I don’t see any other real, long term solution to this issue.
Okay but, we don’t do that around here. And when we do, we don’t enforce it.
I would but the fucking things break and can’t be fixed
This works until all the OEM’s jump on the malicious malfunction gravy train.
