HP Instant Ink
« on: 06 June 2020, 17:23:58 »

Signed up for the free ink 15 page a month deal.

In 4 years it's cost me £6 for going over the 15 page limit.

Still on the original cartridges.

Used it for some years now - no complaints. Inks last lunch longer. Best printer/ scanner I have ever had - cost me £15 and small running costs.

Been using it for about 3 years, been through about 8 cartridges in that period at 4 quid a month (or something like that).

The major bonus is you don't have to think about anything, ink is just there when you need it  :y

I have a strange aversion to HP products for some reason, cant think why ;D

That said, my printer is one of their Color Laserjets (yes, Andy B, the Shermans cant spell), and it is by far the best printer I have ever owned by some significant margin.  The HP Connected stuff is disabled though, so they cant remotely fik it up.

I bought my HP1512 in part as an Ad claimed its print options included A5 which it didn’t. HP customer service were excellent and provided a software download to fix it.  :y

When I first started at HP, I happened to get into a face to face "discussion" on why HP consumer printers (ie, non business inkjets) were pretty substandard, and was treated to a barrage of why, despite being premium priced, "they did not need to be good, just barely good enough", and how the HP brand would help sales despite the poor quality.

In my time there, R&D moved from the Western world to "low cost countries" (ie, Indian Subcontinent), and support moved from a Follow-the-Sun model to Bestshoring (ie, Indian subcontinent).

Now, at the risk of sounding racist - which I ain't - I can assure you that our friends in Bangalore are utterly hopeless when it comes to technology, and if it mostly works, that'll do. Security is never considered, nor is code maintenance.  Those involved with software development now will have seen this mentality creep in over here, due to how much is subcontracted over to Asia.


I'm sure other companies are similar to HP, but the utter contempt they treated their consumer customers has left a sour taste for me,  Business customers were equally buttraped - you spend £25k on that shiny new server, and it needs a firmware update or a driver update? You aint getting it until you've bought a support contract first.

Well I can only speak for myself, but my HP 1512 printer, now a few years old, was dirt cheap, does everything I need, and I repeat my above quote.  :y

Grrr, a long reply with loads of example models about HP following Sony and losing the plot....

...but my useless bloody stupid pathetic pointless heap of shite Wifi dropped, and the post was lost.


But if the printer is working well for you, excellent :y.  I doubt I will ever have another HP Inkjet.

Did I mention my Wi-fi is fine?

BT want me to upgrade to Halo 1 for an extra £5 a month. 100Mbs and, since it's an engineer visit, I'm presuming FTTP.
