I want to take every HP Printer* and melt them all down. I want to give them feelings and then torture them, and make their engineers/creators watch as it happens.

Seriously, what were they thinking when they put some of those things on the market? They have drivers and installation software that is not compatible with many modern systems, and on computers they DO work with, they make the print queue fail with RELATIVELY FEW PRINTS. That causes the unnecessary need for a total computer restart if you need to print again, of course that is when killing and restarting the print spooler service and/or Windows Explorer doesn't work - BUT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO EVEN THAT if all you want to do is print something else. Blast them all.


* There are exceptions. Some of them are full of greatness. I'm speaking mostly of the newer Officejets and other similar all-in-one HP Printers. I have had to or have been given a chance to fix a nothing-will-print problem with just about every single one I've encountered.

constant maintenence....pain in the ass really

every printer i've ever encountered has just been a complete waste of my time

my printer is always out of ink because ink is incredibly expensive and it gets used up WAY too fast.

the scanner part of it kicks ass though!!

disclaimer: my printer isn't an HP

My HP DeskJet 722C was my favorite printer ever! It makes lovely printouts, and since it's an ancient model, I can buy new ink cartridges at my school system's surplus sales center for less than $5 a pop.

But yeah, printers in general are a major headache.

I own an laser printer made by Hewlett-Packard, I dont see any hassle considering that my laser printer is an HP Color LaserJet CP1215. It works for my windows 7 computer, which is an HP Compaq.
