I once destroyed an HP Photosmart when it told me the almost full cartridges had expired.

I went and brought the cheapest Cannon printer that was < 1/2 the price of the replacement cartridges, and it still works fine two years on.

For my printer, I only replace cartridges when I start seeing empty streaks across pages. The printer does complain about empty cartridges on its LCD display but you can still dismiss the warning and print as you would.

A bit mental that some of you are talking of printers/AIOs refusing to operate on low/empty/non-existent cartridges :s

Printers are the #1 forgotten about device when setting up a computer and they are the #1 headache when troubleshooting.

Have 3 mfp's...one of the mfp's decides one day to stop printing the company logo, everything else prints just fine...just the company logo from 1 document. Would you believe the nic was bad? Yeah neither could I...everything else prints fine, logos print fine on other documents, 1 document logo doesn't print, switch nic between printers and the issue follows the nic. Really wtf.

I agreed with everything in the OP until I got my new HP photosmart, I think manufactures are actually starting to realise the problems us normal people have with printers :p It's actually a little creepy how much it sets up on its own and changing the ink takes around 10 seconds. Compare this to my old Epson which very nearly took a few of my fingers during cartridge changing :blink:

    • Apple Maps

      By Joni_78 · Posted

      My son is in Monaco right now, and I was checking his location in Apple's Find My app. I noticed that Prince Albert's Palace was blurred out on the satellite imagery in both Find My and Apple Maps. I checked Google Maps, and the palace wasn't blurred there. Does Apple have some kind of process where property owners can request that their homes be blurred on Apple Maps?

      No, it was THAT ugly and I’d rather forget it completely existed.

      There is a lot of reasons not to use Edge but faster fixes and security updates is not one of them.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Can't reproduce. I installed Edge, went to neowin.net > accepted the cookie consent > used menu to go to forums, everything loads and I can browse around the forums. If you can't interact with the dialog on the forums for some reason, go to the main site and accept the cookie consent there? It is true that the site will not function properly until the cookie consent is accepted or rejected,. it's a legal requirement and I also know that certain VPN/ad blockers block it, which is a user related issue and not a neowin.net problem.   This is not our cookie consent dialog. Gotta love browser hijacking... /s Edit: this may be what Californians see, I will confirm with our consent provider.
