They run out of Ink WTF fast. They never work when you need the too. They require software on a computer to run for the simple purpose of connecting one up to mobile device (HAS HP NOT HEARD IF BLUETOOTH OR SOMETHING). Their ink costs a amount of money that can only be described as "extortion". And yet they are absurdly useful and really needed in any work-based context. /topic totally not inspired by real-life events right now

    On most modern printers, the ink cartridges are rigged to be unable to pump more ink in before they actually run out.

    In before Color Printer.

    Also, get Canon brand printers, they're much more frugal.

    It's a good thing you don't regularly go to #yackfest because I would have berated you on how many times I've implied that I don't find that funny anymore

    I have never gotten iPod to printer connection to work ever. I've never had the problem of transferring photos from iPod to my computer, though, except for the fact that iTunes likes to be a bitch about a lot of things

    ^Well, I've never even been to #yackfest, so there.

    EDIT: That, and I can't figure out how to work ChatZilla.

    My computer--or any computer--used to be able to act as if my Ipod was a hard drive, though. And I've printed things out from it.

    Get something other than HP.

    I've had bad experiences with multiple instances of two different models of HP printers.

    I currently use Canon.

    Also, you can't get discounts on HP ink for some reason.

    It was my mom's choice to buy the printer. She bought it solely because it was cheap.

    This is why I beg to be taken along when we buy electronics. Because I actually know what to buy.

    Tell her to get Canon printers on the cheap.  Occasionally, you'll find places like Walmart unloading them for super-cheap.

    THey are also very reliable.  I've had two HP printers, a Brother printer/scanner/fax/copier, a Panasonic printer (way old), and four Canon printers (one of which is also a scanner/copier), and I have been dissatisfied with only one Canon printer but both HP printers and the Brother MFC.

    Our first Canon printer, our second printer, lasted about ten years (albeit not without a few bugs such as paper not coming out all the way after about six years of service, and a sunken "you have more paper now" button) before my parents stored it improperly, causing it to spill ink all over itself, and got rid of it.

    As for the Canon printer I didn't like, it was our second Canon printer, and even it gave us about five years of service before it started complaining left and right that its ink tray or something was full.

    Fun Fact: Because of the cost of ink, my Gramps usually just buys a new, very cheap printer that comes with ink and throws the old printer away.
