HP isn’t what it used to be. I’ve got an HP color laser printer that has been cranking for more than ten years, while using third party toner. It’s sad seeing them like this now.

Not related: but is „verboten“ (forbidden) really used in English? Just wondering because it is German.

Why does anyone still buy HP?
