Who the fuck keep buying HP in 2023 when there are lots of other brands available in the market?
companies and uninformed people who fall for the "recommendations" at the store.
Corps.
I've heard their business-oriented products are much much better. Which makes sense, because business customers tend to have contracts that cost the supplier money when things don't work, whereas pissing off consumers usually costs nothing in the short term.
Go into a store like Walmart and you will have 6 different HP printers, 1 epson, and empty spots where the 1 Lexmark sits. Once you get to rural areas you don’t have much of an option to specially when the point of purchase already limits your purchase options.
Most people will not drive 1-2+ hours to get more options.
Man, if only we could buy printers online!
B-b-b but the $2 shipping is gonna ruin me!
Yes some can. I’m one of them. My in-laws, nope wanna see it I. Person first. And when you need it now, not in a day or two
