I have bought ,exclusively; HP product for home and business for over thirty years and have now had four instances of (supposed) auto-destruct.
I have a Deskjet 1280 (with, now, an expired warranty) and can not obtain a driver to work it from my replacement computer. The HP support site has proven unhelpful ( after half a day's concentrated effort! ).
Is it a matter of HP policy to deny its loyal customers access to their purchases after a predetermined period?
Am I mistaken or would I be wise to alter my allegience?
