    Thanks for sharing, in case anyone cares about the companies in the printer market:

    HP and Xerox are from the US.

    Canon, Epson and Brother are from Japan. Some other companies that create professional machines are from Japan too.

    If you’re buying European because of things happening in the US, in this case just skipping HP is your best strategy.

      You should probably skip HP regardless of what’s happening in the US.

      • HP Adds 15 Minutes to All Customer Service Phone Calls
      • Ink Required to Scan and Fax
      • Account Required to Scan
      • Firmware Updates Stop HP Printers from Working (Errors 79 and 49)
      • HP Locks Printers if There Is a Failed Subscription Payment

      Canon is apparently following HP’s lead on some of these things as well
