    I never had any issues with Canon or Brother printers at work, but HP printer are almost always unnecessarily complicated and frustrating all the way through, starting at the initial setup.

      Yeah, HP is currently in several lawsuits for their printers. They remotely disable them and a bunch of crazy stuff.

    Some years ago I worked in a place thst had several Canon printers, it hit me after several years that I had never had any problem with them (except a stuck paper on some rare occasion)

    Later at a metal festival i talked to a man who worked for Canon, I assuned he worked with cameras but still menetioned how good of a brand it was when it came to printers.

    Turns out he worked with canon printers after all and according to him they have way more reliable up-time than the competitors, which he also worked for before.

    So yeah, a proper office printer from Canon is something diferent!

    I have a printer that works. B&W laser printer from Samsung. It survived multiple windows update, and still works on Linux.

    Guess that’s why Samsung discontinued their printer business and sold it to HP.

    Ive got an electric brick in the shape of a printer because apparently if you stop paying for the ink subscription it just stops working.
