Who would think that they would make printers so dumb that they can't even 
print the letter "A"?

Unfortunately, the market has become "how cheap can we sell it for in the 
store", totally ignoring "how much is this printer *really* going to cost, 
once you add in ink (which you can't buy in bulk because the ink has more 
brains than the printer, and will expire on a given date, regardless of how 
much ink is still left) and other expenses".

As I like to say... "free after rebate is too expensive".
