HP 8720 Printer

[SDH_5815]

I, for one, cannot wait NEVER to purchase another HP printer. The audacity to “upgrade” the firmware to require only HP toner and not allowing 3rd party or refilled toner carts is beyond reproach. As a 25+ year user of HP products, I will now search out a competitor for my personal, and my business’s needs. I will advise any and all who ask my recommendation to select a brand other than HP for their needs, as well as the numerous trade organizations, business groups, and family and friends. 
What a total embarrassment, HP. Shame on you. And, before you tell me this was a change for end user security, I’ll call BS early on that.
