Huh, I wonder if a lawyer could win the argument that printer companies who restrict 3rd-party cartridges violate this law...

Next on eBay: "Buy French ink for HP printers, use VPN to download the French drivers!".

"PC CHARGER LA LETTRE?! WTF does that mean?"

Pourquoi ça indique "bourrage de papier", alors qu'il n'y a pas de bourrage?

There has already been a class action against HP[0] ending with a settlement and reimbursement of some customers, but that's not very conclusive.

It seems clear to me though that they violate this law, we just lack enforcement.

I think it's possible and it would be a good thing. Although I wonder...I use a slightly older brother printer (prob. 4-5 years old) with 3rd-party cartridges without problems. Is it different with other printers?
