Google for "class action" and your model of printer.

I did - before I asked. I always do my own research before asking.

I used the keyphrase "class action" "hp cartridge" and got a lot of
hits but none of them told you how to join the class action lawsuit. A
couple articles said explicity "Join HP Lawsuit" but did not tell you
anything useful.

Does anyone have knowledge of how to join that lawsuit?

Reread my suggestion- not make, rather model. Not
cartridge, just "class action" and your model of printer,
nothing more.
Maybe that won't turn up hits either, but it does matter
what you search for more than just doing some
somewhat-similar search.

What makes you think I didn't try that?

I guess I should have mentioned that I did try that and some other
permutations. The keyphrase above got me the best hits.

If there is really a class action lawsuit, then the attorneys will be
advertising for participants.

Because you mentioned doing it, but only, specifically
mentioned doing something loosely similar.

Where might you see these ads? Online tech-news 'sites may
mention them occasionally but I rarely recall any being
prominent enough to notice in non-technical mass-media.
Tons of class-action suits get minimal participation unless
the manufacturer were going to take their registered owner
database and inform everyone... something I doubt any
manufacturer feels very motivated to do unless compelled
towards it.

I tried several keyphrases. It would have been improper to list them
all. Nobody really cares which ones I used.

That's how I found out - Road Runner, which is part of AOL Time
Warner, sent me a notice about the class action lawsuit.

I visited the website put up by the lawyers but there was no mention
on how to sign up as part of the class. Apparently a RR user is
already part of the class and must do something to opt out. But I did
want a second opinion on that.

Huh?

RR does not opt you into any class-action suit for printers.

.... and what does this have to do with printers?

I never claimed that being a customer of an ISP wouldn't
make you a member of a class for ISP issues.
