Default Fed up with HP

You'd think so. But ink jet printers are so popular... it's the cheap
up-front cost of the printer, especially the all-in-one variety and the
ability to do colour that suckers some people in - when they should
maybe have looked at laser (colour if must) and separate scanners.

And small office IT buying decisions are run by technophobes as I have
come across. Whole office with 5 Dell 720 all-in-one printers running as
they were "free" with the systems, and the drivers wouldn't easily allow
shared network use.

Cartridge World is _so_ popular :-(
