Tell that to the printer and see how far you get.

Apparently it is being enforced. By HP. Otherwise this post wouldn't exist.

HP's lawyers know nobody is going to spend $5,000 on a lawyer to get Justice for a $100 printer.


Apparently many people are able to sue. Look up the "Leacraft v. Canon" case, which is somewhat related.


Who said anything about lawyers? IANAL, but I'm pretty sure this is well within the remit of small claims court for the US, and the EU should have some agency whose job it is to deal with this.


What about a class action lawsuit? Surely there are some tech-oriented lawyers trawling HN/etc for class action ideas by now.


Yeah, so how can OP get his printer to ... print?
