The suit, filed earlier this year, argues that HP all-in-one printers stop all functions when ink levels reach some arbitrary point.

      That’s literally what the lawsuit is about. Scanning and faxing are disabled when your ink is too low.

      Happened to me in Summer 2020 after printing maybe 100 total pages on a printer I’d owned for two months.

      I kept getting emails about the HP subscription program and then my basically new printer inexplicably stopped working. I assumed HP bricked it and, as much as I hated to, tossed it out and told myself I was never buying their product again. Luckily the KC public library has free black and white printing anyway.
