Inhlangano yamalungelo abantu i-Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) ikhiphe indatshana ebeka icala mayelana nemisebenzi kaHewlett-Packard. NgoNovemba 2020, kwaziwa ukuthi i-HP yayishintshe umugqa wayo wezinhlelo zentela futhi yasusa inketho yamahhala yokuphrinta amakhasi ayi-15 ngenyanga isebenzisa uhlelo lwe-Ink esheshayo. Manje, uma umsebenzisi engakhokhi u-$0.99 ngenyanga, iphrinta yakhe enomsindo futhi eshajiwe izovalwa ukude.
Izimiso zangempela zohlelo lukayinki osheshayo zibukeke zikhanga: umsebenzisi ukhokhe imali yokubhalisa, i-HP igade amazinga kayinki ephrinta futhi yona ngokwayo yathumela umsebenzisi amakhathriji agcwaliswe kabusha lapho uyinki uphela. Lokhu bekonga kakhulu kunokuthenga nje amakhathriji anegama eligcwaliswe kabusha, futhi kwanezela ukusebenziseka kalula kubasebenzisi. I-Instant Ink iphinde ibe nohlelo lwamahhala olukuvumela ukuthi uphrinte ngokukhululeka amakhasi ayi-15 ngenyanga ngaphandle kwenkokhelo yokubhalisa. Kulokhu, ama-cartridges awazange athunyelwe, kodwa umsebenzisi wayengaphrinta amakhasi angu-15 ngoyinki ayenawo.
Njengoba i-EFF ikubeka, i-HP isanda kwephula irekhodi layo lokuba yisixhwanguxhwangu ngokuguqula uhlelo lwayo lwe-"Ink Yamahhala Yempilo" lube uhlelo oluthi "Sikhokhele u-$0,99 nyanga zonke impilo yakho yonke noma iphrinta yakho izoyeka ukusebenza". Lokhu stunt ye-HP inselele yona kanye isisekelo sempahla yangasese. Nge-HP Instant Ink, abanikazi bephrinta abasebona abanikazi bamakhathriji ayinki kanye noyinki okuwo. Kunalokho, amakhasimende e-HP kufanele akhokhe imali yanyanga zonke esekelwe enanini lamakhasi ahlela ukuwaphrinta inyanga nenyanga. Uma umsebenzisi edlula inani elilinganiselwe lamakhasi, i-HP izokukhokhisa ekhasini ngalinye eliphrintiwe. Uma umsebenzisi enquma ukungakhokhi, iphrinta izonqaba ukuphrinta, ngisho noma kunoyinki kukhathriji.
Amaphrinta e-HP aziwa ngokuqukatha amabhukumaka ahlukahlukene akuvumela ukuthi ulawule ukude futhi uvimbele lawa madivayisi. Umcwaningi wezokuphepha u-Ang Cui wabonisa emuva ngo-2011 ukuthi amaphrinta e-HP awalawulwa kuphela ngaphandle ngokuqondile kunethiwekhi noma ngesofthiwe yekhompyutha, kodwa angabuye alawulwe ngekhodi equkethwe kumadokhumenti athunyelwe ukuphrinta. I-HP isebenzise la mathuba izikhathi ezingaphezu kwesisodwa: isibonelo, ngo-2016, i-HP yasabalalisa isibuyekezo sokuvikeleka ngebhomu lesikhathi elivimbe amaphrinta anama-cartridge ezinkampani zangaphandle ezinyangeni ezimbalwa kamuva, ekuphakameni kokuqala konyaka wesikole. Iphendula imibuzo yabasebenzisi, inkampani iphendule ngokuthi ayikaze ithembise ukuthi amaphrinta ayo azosebenza ngoyinki wezinkampani zangaphandle.
Abasebenzisi be-Linux bangalulekwa kuphela ukuthi basebenzise i-HPLIP (I-HP Linux Printing and Imaging System) ngokuqapha futhi bakhawulele ukufinyelela kwale sevisi yokuphrinta kunethiwekhi yangaphandle. Uma imodeli yephrinta yakho ikuvumela, kungcono ukusebenzisa isistimu engaphansi yokuphrinta ye-CUPS. Lesi simiso esingaphansi asimvikeli ngokuphelele umsebenzisi ezenzweni zomkhiqizi wedivayisi, njengoba sisebenzisa ama-blob kanambambili obunikazi, kodwa okungenani, uma ukubuyekezwa kwe-blob kukhutshaziwe, kuyenzeka ukuqinisekisa ukusebenza okungashintshiwe kwesisetshenziswa.
