Warlock Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Someone not very happy with HP printers.... http://www.break.com/usercontent/2006/10/8/printer-problem-in-iraq-163012 Hi Fluffy, I just watched with amazement your video and the soldier in it certainly was not a happy camper. I don't know the whole story behind this i.e. whether the warranty was still in effect, etc. I have an HP4680 All-In-One and have had remarkable service and support. A few months after I bought it a modem squeal developed and not being able to narrow the cause down I called HP. The problem developed several months after my warranty expired. We were on the phone for hours initially then extended to days of calling back and forth involving several staff members. They decided to go ahead and make things right and instructed me to ship the unit back for replacement. Beforehand they sent me a shipping container and pre-paid postage to send it via UPS. I received a new unit and the same problem re-occurred. On the phone again for quite awhile working with this machine. Back it went and they sent me another unit. Same problem again, making it three transactions. Then a senior engineer got on the phone, had me make some adjustments and this time it worked fine. I have had good luck with HP. They will spend time helping to do even the minor things like change an ink cartridge if one is having trouble. I don't understand this person's difficulties but I feel sorry for him especially under the circumstances. I hope he gets some satisfaction eventually. Just thought I would offer some input to your post. Have a good one. Warlock If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain. If I can ease one life the aching or cool one pain, or help one fainting robin unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.

Moderators Andavari Posted May 30, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 30, 2010 We were on the phone for hours initially then extended to days of calling back and forth involving several staff members. That's so typical of HP. When I had to get my extended warranty replacement for my HP All-in-one Printer/Scanner I was literally on the phone forever. That's the reason I'll never buy another extended warranty from Staples because HP thought they had nothing to do with the replacement, however upon calling Staples the next day they stated HP had to replace it. Nothing like being bounced back and forth, until the hint of getting a lawyer involved quickly resolves all the b.s. very quickly. The bad thing is they usually send a refurbished unit, mine stopped working correctly about one week after getting it so I'm using my old Dell All-in-one which doesn't print as good, but at least the software isn't a bloated cow either.

ishan_rulz Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Yeah, the HP Printer software is bloated as hell. Took me some time to get rid of it. I have a HP as well, will try and get a Cannon. Simplicity is hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 Warlock thanks for the input...perhaps the arid desert conditions may have a been a factor in the printer not working by the look of it now we will never know ! I use a cannon...but i think i would sooner use the M249 Saw !!!(there is a joke in there!) Lets not give Hazelnut a headache !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDPower Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Yeah, the HP Printer software is bloated as hell. Took me some time to get rid of it. I have a HP as well, will try and get a Cannon. I've gone from a HP to a Canon. The Canon comes with quite a chunk of software (320Mb in total here) BUT the crucial difference is, first, 90% of the software install is optional. And secondly, the software is actually useful and I have installed it for that reason, unlike HP which breaks if you don't install all its (mostly useless) crap.

rudolfc Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) I have switched from HP to canon. It is much better because they provide all the software but it is optional and software is very useful as well. ___________________ link removed by moderator Edited January 9, 2013 by Nergal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 The link at the bottom of rudolfc's post goes to iyogi support. Spam? I dunno, not my call, but my firewall says it is trying to call out to somewhere else. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

Alana Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yeah, the HP Printer software is bloated as hell. Took me some time to get rid of it. In my experience, the CD drivers are always more bloated. Download the basic drivers from the web for your model, & it should work substantially better.
