Every HP printer is the last HP printer you will ever buy.

Not in the days before Carly Fiorina was driving the ship.

For sure.
A place where I worked in the early 2000s used old-school HP laser printers. The one in my unit cranked through boxes and boxes of paper with no trouble at all. It was all heavy-gauge metal, and must've weighed 50 pounds at least.
Post-Carly, HP printers became the same flimsy Chinese crap as all the other brands. Carly's bright idea was to take flimsy Chinese crap, slap an HP label on it, and sell it for HP prices.
You can get away with that. Once. After that, no one is going to ever buy your overpriced junk again.
