They have, if nothing else, an ethical duty, if based on nothing else,
then environmental considerations. Printers are a mess of plastics,
metals, paper or cloth, and electronics. Just because the printer
companies have determined that their sales are best when they don't

don't mean they are the ones calling all the shots.
At minimum, they should have to take back the equipment and recycle it
at no additional cost to the consumer. They have no right to make
shoddy equipment that won't last 3 years, or no longer has parts.
