HP tech here. Stay FAR away from any of their consumer-grade devices. They're cheap, poorly built, and difficult for even HP techs to work on. Save your money and get something with better build quality.

Their business-class devices are okay, because most of those actually have decent build quality and are easily repaired. But stay away from their cheap devices, especially their printers (obviously).

We are also an HP/HPE shop.
Like you said. Not the cheap shit. And definitely not the cheap printer shit!
ProDesk or EliteDesk (maybe even used?)

Hewlett-Packard is just an unhinged ad campaign for Brother.

Same, bought an HP a few years back without knowing about their shady business practices.

Eagerly waiting for when it kicks the bucket so I can get a Brother printer.

Can someone explain why there's a cloud printing service involved here at all? We've been able to print over WiFi for a decade now.
