    Remember that video from a few years back from the soldier in Iraq who used his broken HP printer for a little lead therapy? It's been making the rounds again so HP posted this video to YouTube. Hopefully this will spare HP products further automatic weapons fire, even when they occasionally deserve it.

    The original video:

    Wished I had a bazooka! HP's response was to support military personnel. What about your regular Joe? HP has grown too big and forgotten their roots of consumer support. Deniability of faulty wireless, GPU and what nots will make consumers look elsewhere.

    HP hasn't given me any real printer problems as of late.

    Really once they went to usb I stopped having issues but man. The older LPT1 stuff always gave me problems.

    This is just a smokescreen. I went to that forum to "join the discussion" but there is no discussion happening, its just a ghost town where people fire off questions that never get answered. And when people ask the moderators for help, or give them feedback, they say well don't tell me about it, go write a letter to the corporate HQ. Supposedly that forum is supposed to allow you to talk to developers and engineers and interact with them, but there is nobody there to even interact with.
