“As the world’s leading printer manufacturer, it’s our job to make sure HP products can work under the harshest environments and deliver the consistent print quality and reliability our customers have come to expect,” said Vince Ferraro, vice president, LaserJet Business, HP. “We look forward to hearing from our customers about their office environments and the stories of how their HP LaserJet printers have held up under the most severe and unusual working conditions.”
