Nobody buys HP anymore , HP stands for Has Problems
I used to work with a lot of HP's industrial printers. The automated maintenance routines always take so damn long, and they break all the time. We always said HP stands for Have Patience.
The last time we tried using them, the computer came with Windows 98...
They were horrible back then, not really sure how they are still in business.
I thought it stood for Horrible Product.
Nah... My office does, and then pays a vendor to handle the issues (I work in IT, fixing those problems is literally my job) and they still cheap out on knock off toner (some of which works). It makes me sad...
Yeah, the problem is that they're anti-consumer.
