HP tech here. Stay FAR away from any of their consumer-grade devices. They're cheap, poorly built, and difficult for even HP techs to work on. Save your money and get something with better build quality.

Their business-class devices are okay, because most of those actually have decent build quality and are easily repaired. But stay away from their cheap devices, especially their printers (obviously).

Thanks for this, good to know. I’ve had nothing but problems with my HP and had many a day of wanting to schwing it out the window.

Any particular brand out there that’s still known for decent build quality? I feel wary of them all now.

I’ve had a Brother laser printer for years now, never given me any issues.

Funny. I was about to mention my brother laser toner printer. Have two. They are black and white but tanks

My Brother "network" laser printer is so old, it has no WiFi or Bluetooth, just an ethernet jack and a USB 1.0 port. Seriously. 1.0. It's that old. I've only had to change the toner cartridge one time because I don't print a ton, but it's a workhorse.
