You no doubt read my rant on buying replacement cartridges for my HP fax machine, and if you didn't, you should.
Rather than smashing the machine to pieces, or flying to HP and throwing it whoever came up with the idea of proprietary carts (which is what I really wanted to do), I handed it off to my father-in-law as a donation to the computer club he's part of. Let them spend club funds on buying ink that costs 10x more per ounce than gold.
Then I went and did what I should have done when my first Brother fax passed on: bought another Brother. This one used good old tried and true (and cheap to replace) thermal transfer cartridge.
It also does what the HP claimed to do, but didn't, and that is listen in and automatically accept a fax if it detected one incoming. The HP wouldn't accept a fax until you hit the receive button. What a piece of crap.
To reiterate: I'll never buy anything from HP again, and neither should you.
