Corporate IdiocyComedian Al Murray recounts a run-in with industrial-scale stupidity: "Car insurance company rang, without having sent me a renewal letter, asking for money. Made them answer security questions." In the same vein, tell us your stories about pointless paperwork and corporate quarter-wits

Not HP, I thinkI've had a couple of HP inkjet printers recently, and both came with standard (ie full) colour and black cartridges. In both cases the printers cost less than even Tesco cartridges. Two different models, by the way.

Must have changed thenbecause HP were, to my knowledge, the inventors of the practice.
If it's cheaper to buy a new printer than it is to buy new toner cartridge, the whole cost of manufacturing printers is a loss for the company making them. Makes no sense at all.
It's actually a really good troll. Post this on a lot of forums, and assuming they haven't seen it before you will create a shit storm of nerdery.
