Starting to really hate HP

Sent to HP. I'm holding my breath....

Wow. I recently purchased a 5610 and while this is a capable machine, I was shocked to learn I cannot use the replacement print cartridge #57. I am forced to use the smaller replacement cartridge #22 and therefore my per page cost has increased dramatically.

Why did HP decide to basically steal from their customers by not making the #57 cartridge work with the 5610. I realize that profits are lagging but still.

Not that it matters but as I sit here typing on my HP laptop (or perhaps it's my spare HP laptop or my HP desktop) and looking at my 19" HP monitor I have to wonder just how many more HP products I will purchase. I have 3 HP printers and I'm pretty sure that's the limit (of the # of HP printers I own not to mention my patience).

So that's it, I won't be purchasing any more HP until your company decides to treat consumers in a respectable manner. We are not stupid and we figure this kind of shady "stuff" out and believe me, it will affect your bottom line more than if you'd have done the right thing from the start. And yes, my letter won't change your behavior one bit which is really more than a bit sad.

So Long HP. Good luck with all that.
