      Their products have become pretty junk as of recent, at least on the consumer side. I hear good things about their enterprise devices.

      I got one for you: You’re on a tightrope of balancing security and your pocketbook, because a firmware update might also include DRM to brick any aftermarket toners you might have purchased.

      Oh, you don’t wanna pay out the nose for gEnUiNe HP?? What’s your threat model look like?

      Ridiculous.
