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.

I used to work for a company that HP contracted us as reps to stand around best buys and office depots and such and sell HP. I remember sometime after the 02 inks went away reliability really took a dump. But 02, while more reliable in my experience, took 5 different color cartridges. Pricey (though I'd get free ink sometimes from the job).

Toward the end of my time there the printers were just hot garbage, and I went through two HP laptops in a short time (got a big discount on number 2).

I won't buy HP anymore.
