If the HP quarterly report is not looking good, they send out a message to all the printers to expire all the print cartridges...

What HP does to generate ink revenue is annoying. Everyone finds it annoying, many articles have been written about it. I find at least a dozen things every day annoying. I find I have to choose my battles, and just give in most of the time. If you only print in black, I’m not sure how you ran out of color ink, but it seems like buying one set of HP brand ink would be a one time purchase. How much would that cost? I know all 3 color toners for a laser printer is a lot of money. I wonder if there are places that use a hypodermic needle to refill genuine HP cartridges. Maybe HP uses some other method than checking if the cartridge is empty.

The most expensive liquid is ink. On Thu, Feb 6, 2025 at 4:04 PM <ch...@go-mtc.com> wrote: Went to print a D size drawing. HP said that my three color cartridges were empty. I never print in color... I had some off brand replacements, it rejected all of them as defective...
