HP Printers stop working after using non HP ink!
« on: Saturday 13 May 23 11:14 BST (UK) »
Following a software update all HP inkjet printers have now stopped working!
Only solution is to use HP inks.

Disgusting - but I must remember as I've got an HP Deskjet!!

Can you not ask the computer to go to an earlier back up date and see if this gets round the problem and then do not update the drivers to the printer?

There was an article about this in the Times this morning. Strangely, I’m about to buy a new printer and I was looking at an HP. Guess what I’m not going to buy now!

I’ve always had a feeling that printers are sold cheaply as the manufacturers can sell ink/toner at silly prices and often wondered how the stuff compares price wise, weight for weight, with other valuable materials.

By shopping around and looking for special offers, I pay a similar amount for a large capacity Canon colour ink cartridge (15ml) as for one of the less exclusive bottles of single malt whisky (70cl), so the ink is around 45-50 times more expensive. Admittedly the ink lasts longer than the single malt, but not 45 times longer ;D ;D ;D

What a superb comparison  ;D

Not a fan of whisky myself but I wonder how the printer ink compares with Belgian Chocolate

No idea about the chocolate but apparently the price is seven times that of the finest champagne.

I have an HP printer, I only once used a non genuine cartridge and the print quality was rubbish so I've stuck to the real thing.
