"your HP subscription is about to expire, would you like to renew it? BTW, that's a nice house you've got there, it would be a shame if something were to happened to it."

That's not from lack of desire, but ability.

Man, imagine a printer with arms. You’re not surviving the night.

The spirit is willing, but the cord is short.

There was a bug in HP printers that let people remotely set them on fire.

No, see, we only call it a bug if it isn't meant to be in the software. In this case, it's a feature.

While telling you it can't open the door because it's out of magenta.

In the early 2000s my hp printer had a paper jam and the error message from cups was “printer on fire!”

I’ve never had my printer murder motorcyclists

But I suspect it would if it could.
