Printer Makers' Ploys

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday September 9, 2002 @06:41AM from the my-lexmark-e210-seems-ok dept.

Ellen Spertus writes "The San Francisco Chronicle has an interesting article on printer makers' ploys, such as lying about print speeds and selling printers with crippled cartridges. I'm sure that slashdot readers could identify more deceptions. Are there any printers that actually live up to the manufacturers' claims, ideally with Linux support?"
