HP fails to derail claims that it bricks scanners on multifunction printers when ink runs low::HP Inc. has failed to shunt aside claims in a lawsuit that it disables scanners and other functions on its multifunction printers whenever the ink runs low
I bought an HP printer scanner once. They tried to make me opt into accepting Google and Facebook tracking on the device. It’s a damn printer, not a website. That’s when I sent it back and found the dumbest black and white laser printer I could find.
When it comes to printers, the dumber they are the better.
I still have my HP PSC 1400, the software is stored on an old drive. This thing still works and is so old that I can refill the bootleg ink cartridges and this thing just takes them. It scans even when the cartridges are empty. It’s a simple device and I hope it keeps working as long as possible
All of my printers are on a VLAN with a dead gateway.
LAN access only. And if it doesn’t work from day one on that dead VLAN, then I return it.
