@netspooky@haunted.computer I don't see what the use of hiding the port is for them.

@steeph@todon.eu @netspooky@haunted.computer They're not hiding it, they're getting you to set up the printer over wifi, and only use the USB port after that. It seems if you use the USB port straight away it'll only print up to 20 pages then stop. They do this to get you to opt into hp+ and lock the printer in to use official toner. That's why the printer is so cheap

@steeph@todon.eu @netspooky@haunted.computer What is odder still is the port is marked with USB logo, not hidden, and the sticker has a little arrive suggesting you are expected to un-peel it and remove it even!
