HP: Rival Printers Mean No More HPs Through Dell

    His name is Stephen, you might wish to use it in your future comments to look like less of an idiot. Also, knowing his name would be a good indicator that you've seen the commercials too many times, thus strengthening your case against him.

    Honestly, though, if you're going to campaign against mass annoyance, there are far more deserving targets. You can easily find as many as 40 good candidates in the latest issue of Billboard magazine.

    I suppose "Ni!" would be out of the question then.

    No, but "It" might.

    Also, possibly, "Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-PTANG! Zoom-Boing! Z'nourrwringmm!"

  4. HPs suck anyway by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I have gone through one DeskJet 500 and one LaserJet 5L at home. Both printers ended up having paper feed issues and are now almost worthless (I still get to occasionally print stuff on the LJ5L. The DeskJet is in a landfill somewhere in Virginia). HP will do nothing about it.

    At work, we have four or five HP laser printers. At least two of them are starting to have paper feed problems. These aren't squat little home printers like the ones I mentioned above: they're the big mamajammas costing a thou or two. Again, HP doesn't seem to want to do much of anything about it.

    HP knows about their paper feed issues, by the way. Their basic response: "Sucks being you, huh?"

    I'll never get another HP printer. Ever. I recommend others skipping over HPs as well. They used to make good printers, but in the past 5 or so years they've gone down the toilet.

    And I hardly think that a magazine like Billboard is a reasonable comparison -- you read a rag like that for the trashy ads.

    I wasn't talking about the ads in Billboard. Your hint should have been the number 40. As in, Top 40.
