Re: HP wouldn't try to bork printers with third party cartridges again
My (rather expensive) Canon printer doesn't actually bork itself with third part cartridges, but the sheer volume of "OMG!! This isn't a Canon cartridge! Have you any idea what damage this thing could do to the planet?" messages, usually followed by a clickthrough dialog worded along the lines of "I agree I'm a fecking eejit and accept that all my printouts could be shit because of my appalling buying habits" that I have to go through makes the whole prospect of buying cartridges just because they are 80% cheaper than Canon (and the little fucker takes six of the damn things!) just too much of a hassle for a sheet of A4.
