PLEASE I AM ready to throw this printer out, and never buy another HP product again, I am so tired of these greed bags.

 

I have an older 3050A desk jet or office jet, whatever. All I need to do is print, black ink and color. I have always used generic cartridges as they are affordable, and even they are getting expensive. I have no idea if I downloaded anything, the **bleep** printer is so old. i refuse to spend one penny on HP cartridge, these people are gouging, expoiters.

Can anyone suggest a way? I have tried the turning on and off the printer. I have looked a tht e software and do not see any box to uncheck that says "only use HP ink" there is nothing I can find to uncheck.

Has anyone found a way? this is the world's worse time to try to buy a printer.

thanks in advance. I have so come to despise HP
