"Never own a printer again."

HP wants you to pay up to $36/month to rent a printer that it monitors::“Never own a printer again.”

    Absolutely hate the fact that their drivers and firmware updates (for servers) are stashed away behind ludacris support contracts.

    Have a simplivity stack at work, and for two nodes with an off site DR, needed an $8,000 support contract just to get the latest drivers and firmware to upgrade to the latest VMware version simplivity supports.

    One shot deal, as we are already planning the move away from VMware and getting plans together for budgets to do so…

    Maybe they all do this…? Admittedly I’ve not had to go looking for drivers or firmware updates on the few dells we have as they are air gapped systems that just run for a very specific purpose… So I honestly am not sure. But HP absolutely sucks in this regard as far as Im concerned.
