HP has progressively cheapened its somewhat omnibus DeskJet printer drivers
going from Windows 98/2000 to XP to Vista. They want you to buy a new printer,
even if the old one is perfectly functional. They want you to buy a new
printer, not because they want to sell you the printer. They want you to buy a
new printer so you will run down to your nearest {Staples, Best Buy, OfficeMax,
Wal*Mart, Frys} to drop $50 on more ink cartridges every two or three weeks. The
inkjet printer industry has further refined the Gillette razor model of years
ago. Think of buying ink cartridges today as buying dull blades, or blades made
of some special metal that becomes dull quickly after one or two shaves.
Unfortunately, there is no repository of comparative data available to the
public showing cost per cartridge, number of pages printed per cartridge, and
cost per printed page, including historical data for older inkjet printers. And
if such data were available, all the printer mnaufacturers would bitch and moan
about its bias... Ben Myers
