He smiled as he typed.
‘Our printers are made to be less hated.’
“Lol,” he said. “Lmao.”
Less hated, more loathed.
Despised even.
HP makes my most hated printers.
You’re not wrong, and imma let you finish, but Epson edges-out HP by just a hair imho.
They were when HP was run by engineers.
HP is a fallen giant that cannot stand back up so uses it’s grotesque fingernails to dig itself deeper down into the ground instead.
Thanks, Meg Whitman.
Whitman was eBay.
You’re probably thinking of Carly Fiorina. But it’s not like she was the only turd CEO there.
Lmao. Is this real? Why is less in italics?
Hahaha. Now this explains why MSoft have started pushing hp smart app. Absolute scum bags them both. Wonder how much MSoft accepted to push that software out?
Does anyone at HP even use their own printers?
Probably not the inkjets. The lasers have been good. Old ones were eternal.
I remember programming rude messages into the LCDs of those old HP Laserjets in college. Good times
“FEED ME A STRAY CAT”
“BBQ SAUCE LOW”
Some of my favorites.
Depends if there’s a camera nearby or not.
“They’re gone? Bring back the Brother.”
I wish i had the answer to this, as i work ewaste in the silicon valley, but HP isnt one of our clients.
So they recognize that people hate their printers.
So…it’s not an HP printer?
My guess if you buy a HP printer, they send a Brother laser printer, which is going to make consumers much happier.
I am a professional photocopier technician, focusing on office sized, but also desktop laser photocopiers. I am certified in HP, Lexmark, various Xerox models, and various Canon photocopiers.
I say with all of my heart: Fuck HP.
What, now even the office printers?
Especially the office models
Marry, fuck, kill. Which manufacturer are you marrying?
Ricoh, we just bought a big one for our volunteer office and it has NOT been a PITA for six whole weeks. No attention needed from me, the elderly and/or technology illiterate volunteers print all day with zero stress. Thank you, Ricoh, you beautiful. golden. Bastards.
Well, shit I must be from Alabama cuz I’m marrying my Brother
Thanks for capitalizing that B
Their brother’s name is Brother
That’s gold, Jerry!
We have some old, great HP printers. Rock solid.
As they die, Brother, my Brother.
Fuck the latest HP.
Hp 4000 series laser printers are still the bomb
I have a 4050 and a 1200 still going strong. When they do go I have a Kyocera and a Brother to replace them.
Iirc Brother printers are heading down a similar dark path. Though I don’t recall where I got that info, so take it with a grain of salt.
Edit: I somehow misspelled brother.
Every Brother printer I have personally owned over the past 20 years was a colossal piece of shit.
And yet, somehow still better than HP.
I can’t stand that company (their laptops are shite as well, except for maybe some of the Omens).
I believe it.
Inkjet or laser?
Several different models of inkjet multifunction stations.
I believe their laser printers should be of better quality than the inkjets.
I’ll have to take your word for it because I’ve had a xerox laser for 2 years now that works flawlessly and the software isn’t nearly as abhorrent as brother’s
I have two Brother laser printers, an older one and a newer one. Both still work great. When I see people recommending Brother online it’s mainly the laser printers. Maybe they’re just made differently from the inkjet printers.
I’m glad you are having good experience with a Xerox and I would like to know how they compare to Brother ones on a price point. Do they cost a lot more? Also good to know about the software. I’ve personally only used my printers with the default drivers that came with Linux.
P.S. I also have a Kyocera laser printer which I’ve never had any issues with.
Someone did some market research and found out they’re in the dog house.
Subhead: “apparently they’re being serious” - The Register knows what people think!
Y’all still print?

Lots of people do. And let me blow your mind some more: Lots of countries still use fax machines, for whatever unholy reason. Those things can be a pain in the ass to troubleshoot sometimes.
Does this count as false advertising?
