I have bought a "starter" cartridge inkjet, a "premium“ AIO inkjet, and (supposedly) one-of-the-better-ones monochrome laserjet. All of them gave me nothing but grief. I used to think this was an accepted loss with the entire printing landscape, that it's a problem of the domain itself.

Turns out it was because I had always bought HP.

The last final printer I bought is a Brother inktank. It is not without its quirks, granted, yet I have never felt so easy.

God knows how much of a grief stricken, pain inducing, blood boiling, poisoned my life was– because HP. Once I switched to a different vendor, a burden of sorts was lifted.

i have had a total of 5-6 products in my lifetime from HP, and I'm pretty sure each one has easily taken out years from my life expectancy.
