HP - Hopeless and Pathetic

Aha, I hear you think - doesn't HP stand for Hewlett Packard? Well, maybe for you. And I was quite fond of my HP laptop till it was remastered with a Samsung recovery disc (long story).

My old printer wasn't bad for most of its life, and when it needed replacing in February I went for another HP, this time a wireless one:

It was pretty straightforward and the quality was good, though the ink for HP printers ispretty expensive. But then, in July, it went wrong. The black ink wasn't finding its way on to the paper, so colour printing was anaemic at best. B/W printing was, well invisible. Back to the shop it went, and I brought an identical new machine home. Last week it went the same way as the first one. HP couldn't be bothered to answer an email asking if this was a known fault, so I couldn't be bothered to swap it for another HP one. Time to give poor beleaguered Kodak a try. It seems to have the same features as the HP, but the ink is MUCH cheaper.

Mine is pure white, which is a bit dazzling.

All I have to do now is set it up. On three computers. And an iPad. Good thing it's the weekend.
