HP Brings Back Obnoxious DRM That Cripples Competing Printer Cartridges
Found on Techdirt on Wednesday, 20 September 2017
The company this week released a new software update for the company's OfficeJet 6800 series, OfficeJet Pro 6200 series, OfficeJet Pro X 450 series, and OfficeJet Pro 8600 series printers. One of the major "benefits" of the update? Printer cartridges from competing manufacturers no longer work.
Stop buying HP printers until the company realizes that eliminating device functionality under the pretense of security is obnoxious bullshit.
Or just sue them hard for repeating this, forcing them to pay users an amount that will hurt them. There is no other method to make a company without any morals learn a lesson.
