HP hit with lawsuit for dead ink cartridges

HP printer Photosmart 2710

It seems like printer manufacturers just can't catch a break. First Lexmark gets slammed for trying to stop companies from making reasonably priced ink cartridges, now HP is getting hit for producing cartridges that can stop working before they're even used. If the class-action suit goes ahead as planned it could represent anyone in the United States that purchased an HP inkjet printer since Feb. 2001. Yowsa, now that'd be a big payout.
