I don’t see why people need printers in this day and age even at work. I’m in finance and the only time I use the printer is to scan paper someone else like a vendor or customer sent me that could have been sent digitally. Oh, there have been a few times I needed to print out some legal stuff but that’s it.

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 think I have the same model (dont judge me, didnt pay for that shit lol), but no sticker here. Not using cable anyway Im thinking should I toss it after reading about hp

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

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.
