I sincerely hope that someone sends this to HP and all of their competitors... And to Fox News!

The good Captain will likely be put up on charges of destroying government property. I hope it was him own machine.

Dammit - I had exactly the same problem with my HP printer, got the same "support" from HP, and had the same angry reaction. Now I realize that I lacked the correct tools to address the problem in a most satisfying way.

And that, children, is why I bought the Epson Stylus CS4800.
Not only do the HP printers seem to be going down in quality, the ink also tends to be more expensive than the competitors'.

The engineers in my clan refer to that method or repair as "impact adjustment". Scotch have found it very effective for centuries. I'm sure it can even fix a HP machine. If not - it will no longer get in the way or real working machines.

PS HP's future has been and still is in doubt. After seeing this does anyone question why it is in doubt?

Their Lazer printers are ok... it is the inkjet shit they make!
In any case most inkjets are sold cheap... they make their money on the fancy paper and ink that just prints half an assignment.

You propeller heads must know, most 'repair' techniques result in the repaired item being in a functional state.
That jarhead just ventilated a printer that Haywood paid for, that probably only needed cleaning.
Now how are they going to print their short timer calendars?
btw, Haywood is a proud veteran, and this in no way should be taken as being "against our troops".

Hayseed, how do you know it was paid for with tax money? Or did you personally buy it and send it to the Marine? BTW unless you were a Marine, the term Jarhead is off limits to you.

Too funny!
I really needed that laugh, but I must say that my HP Deskjet 1220C/Postscript 3 rocks AS LONG AS I CLEAN IT AFTER I HAVE NOT USED IT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME! Also, no cheap ink, m-kay?
I get the distinct impression that the honorable serviceman was not overly familiar with that particular piece of equipment.
SeeMonk: With all due respect, this is a country founded upon freedoms; Freedom of expression being chief among them. You may not LIKE the context in which "Jarhead" was used, but the term is not off limits to anyone for any reason.
My dad wasn't a Marine, he was an Air Force Pilot (WW II, Korea, Viet Nam), and he used the word Jarhead many times: Always lovingly and with the deepest, most awesome respect, and I don't think you'd have confronted my dad with the same objection.
I love the Marines. Tip of the spear and all that.
Just sayin'

Peronnally I never much liked HP stuff. Had some HP PC's they were kinda sucky. Parity memeory does have it's uses. I do have an HP color deskjet and the old laserjests were good. But don't think the lower quality of PC's and stuff is just an HP problem. And everyone makes a lemon once in a while. I think the issue was the service and the fact that HP felt it needed pay to help with a problem. We have another commenter above who agrees this printer is a POS. So it probably is.
I find the idea that you shell out the cash for a nice printer and then have to pay to get answers pretty silly.
I was just in my supers office and she has a brand new HP printer that chops off half the last line on every document she does. I'm seeing a trend here profit over quality. Make quality and support it and people will pay a bit extra for that.

To think what a difference a new toner cartridge might have made! LOL I guess it gets frustrating over there if there is nothing to shoot at for a while...

mcunt, you are no where near qualified to tell Haywood what words are on or off limits.
But, if it makes you proud, you go, girl. How's your site doin?

Hucbald, your dad would know what I am talking about. You I do not expect to understand.
Hayseed, I will take the fact you did not state you are or were a Marine as a confirmation. I am not going to tell you to never say it. However, it is a term reserved for those who for whatever role they played, earned the title. Unless you have earned it, I would ask you to not use it. However, I don't expect a whole lot out of you. Your handle speaks volumes.
BTW I am not scottish. Please address me as cunt or Mr Cunt. I believe I have earned that privilege.

BTW Gaywood, my site is getting more hits every week. I remodeled it, and focused the content. I had 42 unique hits yesterday.
I even have had other folks link back to my own writing. I would honestly say it is less lame than it has ever been.
Feel free to visit and comment. I plan to blog about the progress it takes for me to get my 40 year old ass back into shape to re-up.
When you make that commitment, come talk to me about who you are.
I have already done my service, yet I feel I still have work to do.
What kind of work is left for you to do for this country?

Ah the 240 Gulf...7.62 mm of pure printer fixin' goodness, kind of takes me back. Anyone want to take bets on how long it will take reuters to photoshop that printer into an "innocent arabian child"?

One more thing haywood...that was a soldier not a Marine. See all those patches on his cammies and the way the M240G missed the printer with it's first shot...thats the Army. Marines just need one shot.
P.S. The Army kicks Ass too but I still gotta give 'em trash.

USMC_shooter - - - Da** right! Jarheads always hit what they shoot at!

PS Who never missed a still target after Boot Camp. Missed a few on the rifle range in the beginning but the DI straightened me out fast!
