HP OfficeJet Pro products can't possibly be made any cheaper than current 9010 - 9020 models

[RipD]

I was, happily, going about my business on my Officejet Pro 8620 - when I got an error message "Paper Jam". I checked every  source of a possible jam (flashlight and all). The product refused to reboot or unjam. I went to user forums and found that this is a VERY common problem with HP and users that are out of warranty report this is a ploy by HP management  to get users to buy a new machine.

With that, I bought a new HP Officejet Pro 9018 (nope, I hadn't learned my lesson yet). When I opened the box to setup this new machine - I was astonished at how cheap a product the 9018 is. VERY poorly engineered and produced. Only HALF the product of the previous 8620, but at same price.

Next I searched high and low for HP contact info. on canceling my Instant Ink on the 8620 and all I could find is a worthless computer oriented answering help service. (gave me instructions on how yo unJam a machine I didn't own. No information available on canceling the Instant Ink on the Printer that HP Jammed and will not reset.

Grrrrrrrr
