I have had it with my HP. I have 2 HP printers in my office and 1 at home. The 1 at home is no longer with us due to its lack of cooperation. It was the subject of an experiment involving a large sledgehammer. My initial thoughts were correct. The printer "officially" can not take more than one hit from a 12 pound hammer and continue to function correctly but that is not an issue as it wouldnt function correctly anyway.
The consistent "non HP Ink cartridges" and "cartridge failure" errors have been corrected for good. The part that gets me is how i can take the bad cartridge from my "new" fancy 8615 and put them in my "old" 8600 and they work fine. Does that seem a little odd? I would call it what it is. An out and out load of manure. Charging what they charge for ink and stain is outrageous. How stupid do you think we are? THe cavemen of ancient times made black and colored stain from stuff laying around and you would have us believe it somehow costs a fortune to make? So that aside i buy more economical cartridges that are new and not recucled by a compnay that has MORALS and they work amazingly well. My new HP seems to be in on the blackmail and MYSTERIOUSLY HAS AN "INK CARTRIDGE FAILURE" WHEN I REPLACE THE ONE THAT CAME WITH IT. Yet it works fine in my 8600. If children are reading this then its earmuff time. HP YOU CAN GO INTERCOURSE YOURSELF WITH YOUR MOTHER AND THE REST OF YOUR LYING INBRED BACKSTABING EVIL REPRODUCTIVE POGO STICKS YOU CALL CONSUMER PRODUCTS! Have a nice day. I will never buy an HP product and i think i will get some shirts made saying how i really feel. Good day.
