And that isn't even getting into their drivers and software. Foolish me bought a printer with a scanner and thought I'd be able to just install one little piece of software and be able to print and scan. How silly of me to forget that I to search Google to find instructions that weren't provided by HP, and download an application that the printer's instructions did not tell me to install, in order to get the it working.

I almost want this printer to die just so I can never own an HP printer again in my life.

I always like when I have to open their installer executbale in a utility like 7zip (beause they are 99% really just a self-extracting archive like zip with the actual installer inside), yank out the driver and INF files so i dont have to install some call-home telemetry nonsense to be able to print.
