Is this really how people feel about HP?
I've always associated HP with printers — the LaserJet line specifically. I still use them for just about everything. They've always struck me as well built and reliable. Pretty good network/web UI. I've used some of their large formats too and those have been pretty nice.
Maybe I'm alone, but I'd trust HP to make a decent 3D printer.
- Sophistifunk 9y agoI feel this way because I assosciate them with printers. Every possible touchpoint between customers and (all) providers in the printing space is unpleasant. They're constantly scamming people with pricing models, their software is terrible, both on-device interactions and drivers. They're terrible for the environment, as replacing your printer is often cheaper than buying more ink, and always cheaper than buying a replacement part, unless your printer cost several thousand dollars. It's just... awful.
- themagician 9y agoThat’s how I feel about inkjets, not HP. They are all crap though in my opinion. I had a few as a kid in the 90s but only ever bought one and then never again. I’ve got HP LaserJets that are 10 or 15 years old and good as the day I bought them. The driver is built into most OSes.
