Same. Until recently ( a year or so ago). I suspect something flaky in
the really cheap carts.

First time I thought it was me, too.

Bugger. Sorry to hear that. Despite the issues with carts (non-OEM
admittedly), I still prefer HP printers over others - they seem to offer
better connection options for a start: wireless & wired, rather than one
or t'other, as standard. Of course, I could be wrong and other firms do
the same now.
As we all (probably) know, most printer manufacturers sell their printer
at or near cost, making the real money on ink cartridges. After all, it
can cost over £300 a litre. No wonder there's such a competitive
non-OEM market.
Last time I had to buy a printer, I bought the same model as I had
previously. It got killed due to a lightning strike. Can't blame HP
for that. Took out printer, telephone master socket & network card in
computer. We were lucky - one of our neighbours lost over a grands
worth of electronic (TV, audio & computer) gear. Ours amounted to £80
quid for a new printer and ethernet card (BT supplying new master socket
for free, of course).
