>Watch out for those consumables costs if you buy an inkjet printer for Christmas ...


For a company with a formerly sterling reputation, HP sure is acquiring a lot of black eyes lately. First the board fiasco, now this (if true). It boggles my mind that such a major manufacturer would pay that kind of bribe to such a major retailer. Did they think it wouldn't come out?! Again, I don't know if this is proven, but if it is true....

Thanks for posting just for the bit about printers reporting that they are low on ink long before they really are. Wankers. I hate to admit this to so many savvy people but I guess I am the perfect stooge for them. When the printer says it's low on ink, I go buy more cartridges. Baaaah!

Not only that, I have never bought any brand of printer other than HP. Hmmmm.
