I hate this sort of anti-consumer rubbish, so many people will just click through this and end up throwing the whole thing in landfill in a year or so…

I never buy HP. They make horrible products.

I am very much used to having to deal with 3 shit ones at work...

Constantly loud clicking noises, having to open and close it, remove ghost jams.

And then a company who refuses to replace them 😔

@LillianVS
Would this count as DRM? Or is it something different?

If you really want to mess with their bottom line (mildly infuriate them back), find a way to return it if you are unsatisfied. Returns usually cost hardware companies a completely unreasonable amount of money compared to the margin on a single product.

Inkjet printers are a marvel of cost-optimization though! That many precise mechanical parts with plastic gears, printing at such high resolution, and manufactured at scale is insane. The real cost in the return is generally the labor to process it, and will absorb the margin on selling quite a few units. Well, unless they just throw it in the landfill when you return it.

Anyway, yeah Brother laser printers are great. It's the only printer I've owned that I don't have to think about.
