If we boycotted every company that pulled that crap there'd be nothing to buy.  But that is pretty stupid.

I just got one of their printers free with my pb. Crap.

HP isn't great, I wouldn't use their printer if it wasn't free*.

Boycott a corporate greed machine? Well, I'd rather boycott Microsoft

Other than because HP is evil, why does my HP all in one printer take a year to start printing?

Is it because of USB 1.1? I doubt it since my other EPSON one was perfectly fine. No I didn't buy this HP, it was given.

Is it because their software sucks? They're software IS evil, but maybe it's not that crappy. I mean... come on. My complaint is that it has 50 apps to do 5 things. So annoying. And you can't use Apple's Printer Setup Utility, or the Image Capture like I could with the EPSON. That's nother evil because HP's versions of those are annoying.

Anyway. That's as far as I'll go with my rant.


Does anyone know why it takes so long for the printer to start printing? And is there any way to get the Scan button to launch HP's Scan thing, and not the useless tiny "preview" window?

Agree with those that say HP's software is crap. I hate it, too.
Disagree with those that say boycott microsoft. As far as i know, microsoft is very fair towards it's employees. very social.

EDIT: deleted something i wasn't very sure of :-)

Personally, it makes me mad haering news like this. Laying off scores of middle class, low income group of people who have families to support just for the skae of 'business restructuring' or 'cost-cutting measures' while at the same time hiring one already rich person is the sort of news that makes my blood boil.

But this kind is news is so common. Which of us have never heard of an executive who drives a posh company car while all the lower employees have holiday to benefit cuts for the reason of saving costs?

I was never really into HP but I had high admiration for their printers. I bought one years ago only to had it break down like 5 months later on. Now happilly using a Canon printer.

You sucks HP!!!

There's gotta be an anti-apple angle coming.

Come on, don't dissapoint me.

I use canon any how. Never liked HP until they invented lightscribe

HP anounced layoffs of 15,000+ employees then days later hired a CIO for $15+ million with a $3 million sign-on bonus.  Don't feed the corporate greed machine called HP.  Many Mac users buy their Printers and other peripherals- I urge you to consider your future purchases more carefully.

boohoo
cry more

Apple computers suck.   Boycott them, or better still, sign this petition what I made:

Heck, by the end of the week we'll scare them into laying of 30,000 jobs (not 30,000 Steve Jobs though, that would be cruel).

Is that what HP stands for?   The sauce?

I don't like printers. I don't use them. I'm all for a digital future, and printing out more paper just pushes that future further.

PAPERLESS FUTURE!!!!! BOYCOTT PRINTERS!!!

Looks like you better start boycotting Kodak now also. Up to 10,000 jobs cut.
