    It’s disgusting how printer companies still push inkjet printers instead of laserjets

      As a business owner a inkjet is needed for my designs and professional quality. We had issues at first and ended up with a hp only because we use it all the time if not I hate them… brother was the best option but we had to go to a printer repair store often with our industrial machine

    you do know that brother sells a color laser printer right ?
    I own one and its the best printer i have ever owned, i have had mine for 8 years and it still prints as good as it did day one, only had to replace one black toner cartridge over 8 years.

    HP drops long term support, by not providing current print drivers access. When your warranty expires, you can kiss it goodbye. No one fixes anything anymore. Im sitting on a high end photo plus ink jet that was very costly and 500.00 in supplies that are useless trash.

    Back in the early 2000's to about 2010, my family home had a printer.
    A basic thing hooked up to a desktop dell. it was already old but it worked well and i printed all my homework on it.
    My dad would get the ink cartridge filled up for very cheap.
    This is no more, we have gone backwards.

    HP has an aggressive and highly irritating app you MUST use---I have printed on both PC and Mac and it made me want to take a baseball at to the device (see Office Space for reference)

    Epson eco tank!! I print every day color no photos. It has saved me thousands of dollars over 3 1/2 years of ink. I even had to replace maintenance box $15 from Epson it’s still running like a champ over 30k pages!!

    My Brother printer can sit for months and when I turn it on it just works. no dried up ink or plugged jets to clean. It prints perfect every time.

      You're lucky... Mine inconsistently prints black and white, sometimes perfect, sometimes half the line is missing, no reason why and despite all adjustments and cleanings. Also becomes convinced is has a paper jam when it doesn't, over and over.

    HP used to be my fave brand for inkjet printers back in the early 2000's. Thanks for this video and everyone's comments---I WON'T be getting another HP! ps My mom has a Canon, and the biggest pet peeve is turning it on. It makes all these noises for a long while before it's ready to print.

    Always go laser. Because printer ink cartridges are priced evilly.

    HP was once ok but now with instant ink deals... you become their slave. Suddenly I cannot access the dashboard feature on the HP smart app... which told me how many pages "they" say I've printed. The pages I print, which I keep track of, are always less than the ones "they" say I printed. So right there... trust is lost. Seems they pad the pages printed so they can bump me into the next level of cost. Now the dashboard app says my "invitation is no longer valid." Which translates into "time to part ways with HP." The final time for me. No more HP at this house.

    Guys: DONT BUY ANY HP PRINTERS. I repeat: DO NOT BUY ANY HP PRINTERS. They are the woooorst printer ever. I bought the HP Envy 6455e. It connected to my WIFI for a moment; I printed like 20 pages and... it disconnected AND told me that I have no more ink... I can not for the life of me connect it back to my computer... There is a whole thread on reddit about it. Just don't buy any HP printer.

    HP is the worst brand by far, because of HP 'Smart.'

    Canon LBP2900 is best. Its cheap. Its cartridge is chipless which means you can refill your cartridges and also works with chinese hp12a clone cartridges.. Its laser so can print whenever needed.

    I have new HP Envy 7900. It's a POS and past warranty. I barely use it and it does not print well at all. I will eat the cost and try to find something that works.

    I have bad experiences with every Canon printer that I have ever owned. I am on number 3 and have been troubleshooting an error for the last 3 days. I am ready to just toss it in the trash. I HATE Canon printers!!!

    I've had so many problems with the printers that I bought failing. I finally followed a recommendation from a friend to buy business printers rather than personal printers, which proved to be fantastic advice. My current HP OfficeJet Pro is working great, other than that it's not cooperating with Linux very well.
