That's about $14.5M or €12.7M. HP is estimated to make ~$11B annually (worldwide, no figures specifically for India) from "print supplies," which is probably wider than ink, but 🤷♂️
The cheap laser printer we bought long time back, almost a decade ago is surprisingly working well. But I doubt any recent products would come anywhere close while being a lot more expensive.
Edit: The white plastic did turn a bit yellow but it does print. Although it doesn't work that well when adding a lot of sheets at the same time, 2 or 3 is fine. I think it's more of a design issue than degradation.

What, is that like the cost of a dozen of their ink cartridges? That fine needs a lot more zeros.

The secret sauce of successful business is corruption on the government level that will help you even when you got caught.

HP is a dogshit company that makes dogshit products. I have never had a good HP product.

The last HP printer I had was useless because they made an update that prevented it from using third party ink cartridges. Fuck then entirely.
