Packers GM Ted Thompson has asked Favre not to show up for training camp for a few days while they work this out. Favre has agreed and states he does not want to distract the team. What a sorry state of affairs for our former MVP of 18 years. Seems rather like the way long term employees are treated by companies these days.

]]> Comment on Supply Expired - HP Printer Ink Expiration Scam by hardwareman http://www.barplan.com/blog/home/2007/07/16/supply-expired-hp-printer-ink-expiration-scam/#comment-536 hardwareman Sun, 09 Mar 2008 14:37:08 +0000 http://blog.barplan.com/home/?p=16#comment-536 Yes, I just found out that my Laserjet toner cartridges (4 color) all expired at the same time. Evidently the black is on a different "tracking" system. Cartridge World told me that HP puts a chip in the toner cartridges that count your number of pages. When you reach the limit, it cuts off. Cartridge World also stated that they have changed plenty of cartridges that were 1/2 full of toner! What a scam by HP. This should be illegal and a lawsuit should be brought on any company that would steal from its customers in this manner. Basically HP and other companies are telling US what we are going to pay per page for prints. Yes, I just found out that my Laserjet toner cartridges (4 color) all expired at the same time.

The "remove battery" trick lets me use the huge stack of black cartridges he left behind. Of course, all of them were expired. My uncle was an amateur photographer who printed his own greeting cards. So, he's found it cheaper to buy the color-black cartridge combo packs (I believe they were two color and one black per pack) than buy just the color carts needed.

Go to http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/inkjet/26847 and the find the solution I found in January 2008. Short version of all the posts there: Ger around the expired battery issue by taking out the button batter for about an hour. Do this either by removing the battery, as explained in http://www.land.netonecom.net/tlp/ref/letters/hpPrinters.php Or simply putting a non-conductive material (the posts pretty much agree on a business card folded lengthwise) between the battery and the retaining clip. Latter parts of the thread have folks not returning the battery or removing the card and *not* affecting printer operation. Check it out.
