The suit, filed earlier this year, argues that HP all-in-one printers stop all functions when ink levels reach some arbitrary point.

      Yes. Canon did this shit to me a decade+ ago. Had to go to the store late at night to buy yellow ink so I could scan a goddamned document I needed to send out. Haven’t given them another dollar since.

      Happened to me in Summer 2020 after printing maybe 100 total pages on a printer I’d owned for two months.

      I kept getting emails about the HP subscription program and then my basically new printer inexplicably stopped working. I assumed HP bricked it and, as much as I hated to, tossed it out and told myself I was never buying their product again. Luckily the KC public library has free black and white printing anyway.
