Most people shouldn't buy a home printer at all anymore. Unless you're a crafter or work in a field that still uses lots of paper (i.e. law) they're not worth it.
It's a rapidly shrinking market and HP knows there's no saving it so I guess they're following the cable company playbook.
Squeeze your remaining customers as hard as possible before the music stops
Reminder:
Your local library can print documents for you for an insignificant sum. So can every Office Supply store - though they're worse in every way. Also so can your local shipping supply store (UPS, etc..)
I’d rather just own a printer lol. You guys are making such a big deal over this
There's no reason not to buy a brother or canon if you need a good laser printer to make hard copies of stuff. Not everybody wants to back everything up to the cloud and like hard copies or need it for their business.
