HP sued (again) for blocking third-party ink from printers, accused of monopoly::Suit seeks injunction blocking HP from bricking printers using third-party ink.
Is there a place to check and compare printers in respect to this?
I’m currently looking for a printer replacement and don’t want to lock myself to printers like these. I know to stay away from HP as it looks like they are the biggest offender. I know that brother generally was good, but I’m not sure if that still holds true.
Brother
What a great article 😄

I bought one years ago that still functions on $15 high yield toner that lasts us a year.
Recently bought one for work for $199 (has an ADF) since the HPs stopped printing at all. It was the type that have the long ink cartridges for like $70. Had an employee that needed to print something quick from his phone for work and he couldn’t believe how easy and quick it printed compared to the HP. I think his quote was, “damn, that was awesome.”
Brother is the only printer that just works anymore.
Yeah, The Verge apparently is fed up with printers
Except for the Brother printer everyone has.
Which is fine
This is the way.

I have a Epson Eco tank printer that you just fill the tanks. There is no way for them to prevent you from using any ink you want.
Yeah those CISS style ones are awesome, really glad Epson embraced it after years of customers using 3rd party CISS.
If I were to get an inkjet again (I have a bw brother laser MFC), it’d definitely be a ciss.
