My parents got an antique Epson, must have fifteen years or more. Every time I visit, I'm so impressed that thing works totally flawlessly, compared to the PITA that is our Canon which is fuzzy all the time with the inks.

Only a few weeks ago, I had a total fuckup with HP. We have been using third party ink cartridges for two years without problems. Suddenly, the printer blocks, saying they have "no HP chip". So what happened? The printer (OfficeJet 7740) sits on the Wifi, since we need to access it from various computers. Apparently, it automatically updates its software (without consent, it goes without saying), and with the latest update they started blocking the ink that had always been working without problems.

I heard good things about Brother, and 2022 will be the year that we get a Brother laser printer. I refuse to buy one single more ink from HP.
