Poorly made, built not to last too long. The few units I have looked
at personally seem to reflect that opinion. (I have an old HP LaserJet
2200dn, that I have thought of replacing, but I have paid to have it
repaired a couple of times, since I don't see anything modern that I
would trust.) On the good side, I read that HP printers are 100%
Linux compatible, but if the product is not solid, so what? Also,
HP will not support anything over 5 years old--won't even make a
manual available on the Internet--so after 5 years, you may have to
throw the thing out. I am very disappointed with HP, since at one time
they made the cream of the crop.
