Thank Carley, and mark HP off of your approved vendors list, and re-list them under the 'ohhellno' list.
Sorry. But that's the only solution I see.
I've also delisted Linksys from my approved vendors list.
Sad when formerly good companies get stupid and go bad.

A Canon Inkjet I had in the late 90s was that way. Once I had to replace the ink, the thing never did work right. The printhead kept jamming.
Next, I bought a Lexmark Inkjet. I ran 20 pages. It jammed and the printhead quit moving at all. Of course, that was just days after it was out of warranty (90 day warranty).
About 2004, I ran across a Minolta laser printer (B/W) [Cyber Monday special for $100]. It is still working. I don’t print much at home, but I have never had a problem with it.
About 3 years ago, I ran across a Xerox color laser printer [Cyber Monday special for $150]. I have never had a problem with it.
Yep, HP is migrating out of our network as well. Same kind of problems.
