Honestly. How do they still have customers?? Are the majority of consumers just accepting this?

HP hasn't been good in over 20 years though. Seriously, they've been bottom tier for a long time now.

For people who know their stuff, sure. But for people who use printers cadually? Decade old still good.

With this sort of mentality I wonder. I’m in IT and I would never suggeet any HP equipment (desktops, laptops, servers, monitors, etc).
