HP blinks, says it will restore printer functionality, but there's a LOT more it needs to do

I never understood how there could not be laws that forbid a manufacturer to make his product unusable with third-party upgrades. I mean, it’s not just about the mad prices of printing ink, but also about ressources ans sustainabilty. When a printer costs 30$ but ink refill costs 40$ upwards, printers already become garbage as soon as they leave the factory. I see working printers laying in the streets every week. Manufacturers should be forced to make their products sustainable, so printer prices can be raised again and ink prices lowered.
