Graphic designer here. I've used their shitty consumer grade laser and inkjet printers with USB and they have had many problems. I HATE their wide format inkjet printers with a passion..... They work great for a few dozen prints and then decide to have random problems that take a few hours to fix.

Their inkjet Indigo digital presses..... are freaking amazing. The color they produce is far better than any laser digital press I've seen. They required a trained operator and is MUCH more expensive than the shitty consumer level stuff but they last forever when easily maintained.

HP bricked my printer after about 100 pages in 2020. I bought one when my office went remoted, and even then their subscription service was clearly predatory.

Hated having to do it, but I threw it out. I just use the library printer now.

I really don't understand why people keep buying HP printers. There are so many better options and you end up paying far more in ink with these shit brands.

We're talking about the same company that tries to "gift" free months of ink in exchange of buying only genuine (and overpriced) HP ink for the rest of the printer's lifetime, and obviously if you accept you can't use the printer offline.

I still have an "old" HP printer and, as long as it works, I'll keep it, but seeing their practices I don't know if I would choose HP again for a new printer
