[–] VelociCatTurd@lemmy.world 18 points 3 years ago (4 children) This is just anecdotal, but I work in IT and I can’t recall a brother printer ever giving me a headache. HP is obviously the worst. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] zikk_transport2@lemmy.world 10 points 3 years ago HP is obviously the worst. HP is special kind of printers shitcompany. They probably spent years on doing market research to understand what people NOT want, so they can do exactly that. 😂 permalink fedilink source parent [–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 5 points 3 years ago HP used to make rock solid laser printers back in the late 90s and 00s. Shame what they turned into. permalink fedilink source parent [–] stranger@lemmy.world 4 points 3 years ago I recently had an HP printer to set up for a client (IT as well), and it only had USB 2.0 and Ethernet interfaces. The printer needed an internet connection and activation online before it would even let you print over USB, and of course the Ethernet port was dead and wouldn't connect, so now it's just a shitty white brick with HP stamped on it. At least they were able to return but how does that make sense in practice? permalink fedilink source parent [–] notasandwich1948@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago makes me wonder, how are they still in business doing that? permalink fedilink source parent
