    THIS.IS.ENOUGH. EVERY fucking time I want to print something with a damn officejet 6700, I have to BUY A NEW INK CARTRIDGE. This makes 15,9€ pro printed pages, and this fucking thing will not print in black if cyan is empty, it will not even SCAN if cyan is empty. CYAN is the ultimate power, since obviously, without CYAN, nothing is possible in this world. Dear HP, your hardware is a big pile of shit, your software must have been outsourced to a company that outsourced it to a company that outsourced it to a company that outsourced it back to your own developers, who obviously have never heard of non intrusive software working properly, or even about driver programming. So the office jet 6700 just landed where it always belonged to : in the TRASH. Oh, and this was the LAST TIME EVER that I had put hands on an HP product. Fuck you, HP, you suck big times.

    Do not escape reality : improve reality !

    We have an HP Envy 5660, and have had no issues with it. Color ink out? Still prints black & white. No ink? Still scans.

    What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

      The media suites that come with printers are often worth more than the actual printer. Those are an often ignored gem.

        I do have a Canon MAXIFY MB2050 MFP (9538B006)[^] at home. The printer driver is neatly programmed and using the whole thing has been a pleasing experience to me so far. None of the intrusive BS other manufacturers have given me to date.

          Your rant is useless because you never had the balls to send this to Hewlett Packard, where it has "potential for change". No, instead you send it here, where your emotional energy has been wasted, once again. :sigh:

            I have a Canon that does the same thing. It isn't just HP. It's just cheap printers. They have to make money somehow. My printer was free. So I can't complain when it goes through ink quickly.

                            I feel your pain. I got sick of buying new ink cartridges for my HP. So I dusted off my old Samsung laser printer that I've had for almost 10 years. I thought it was dead, because when I moved last year I accidentally left it unsecured and it ended up with a large crack in its outer case. I was feeling motivated this weekend, so I fixed the case with super glue, and bought a new toner cartridge for less than $20. I plugged it in, sent it a test document, and it worked just like it did when it was new. The toner should last ~3000 pages, so it's costing me far less than the HP and the print quality is better too.

                              Chances are the two of you simply have different driver or firmware versions. Possibly a 'bug'* existed in the older version that has since been fixed. *By which I mean poor design that people complained about and they changed.
