HP Must Defend Half-Empty "Economy" Ink Cartridges

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday May 29, 2002 @04:19AM from the false-economy-that-is dept.

An Anonymous Coward excerpts this short Detroit News story, which begins "PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Hewlett-Packard Co. must defend the sale of half-full ink cartridges with its printers after a Minnesota appellate court reinstated a lawsuit against the world's largest maker of printers. Three Minnesota women claim that the company doesn't reveal that the 'economy cartridges' installed on new printers are only half full of ink." The cost of refills is why I've given up on inkjet printers entirely (for now) -- guess which division of HP made more money than the other four combined?

I guess these ladies will sue Hyundai because they thought that those economy cars should have more horsepower and room than BMW's. They will also sue Motel6 for not leaving mints on their pillows and for their apparently crummy room service.
