Comment on Canon is getting away with printers that won’t scan sans ink — but HP might pay

This is ridiculous. When will these companies decide they’ve made enough profits and run their companies in a way people enjoy the product as was probably originally intended. Sorry, wishful thinking there!!

What’s ridiculous is the fuckin mugs that buy this shit. The same mugs that are buying software by subscriptions, they’re actually 50% of the problem

They think they don’t have a choice. I’ve talked to people who use a printer maybe once a year for 3 pages but have convinced themselves they must have a printer in their home ready to go for the one time they’ll maybe need to print something out.
Your local library has a printer you can use. Mine lets me print 10 pages per day for free. I’d rather go to the Library than deal with HP’s bullshit, no question!

Nobody wants to waste time and gas money going to the library to print a few pages. Our library also charges to print. We do about 20-30 pages a month at home and it costs us about $50 year for ink and paper. It’s worth it for the convenience.

To each their own. I’m less than a mile from my library so it’s an easy choice. I’m also not in school and that seems to be the biggest use amongst my friend group.
