⭐ One Star – Thank You for Forcing Me to SwitchI want to sincerely thank HP for being such a controlling company. After spending $100 on ink, I installed it into my HP printer—only to be blocked from using it because it wasn’t HP-branded. I couldn’t get my printer online, so I signed in to HP.com, and the moment I registered the printer, it recognized the non-HP ink and immediately shut down.This happened in the middle of a workday—I rely on my printer daily. HP made it very clear that their priority is control, not customer satisfaction. So again, thank you—because of this experience, I went out and bought a Brother inkjet printer, and everything is better. It works, I can use whatever ink I choose, and I’ll never buy another HP product again.To anyone considering an HP printer: don’t. The restrictions are outrageous, the user experience is awful, and it feels like a trap. I truly hope HP rethinks this path—or goes out of business.
