Nope, scanner one has already been the case IMO. I had a Cannon MFP, a set of ink cartridges costed around $80 which could yield no more than 80 pages. I realized that and decided to only use the scanner and dumped the empty cartridges. And you guess what, the scanner stopped working too.

There is something to be done in legislation, or such malicious behaviors will become more and more rampant.
