That seems like a pretty broad generalization. Why replace something that's working just because it's old? To me, that's always been one of the advantages of HP over Brother. Many HP printers are made for high volume, frequent usage and are sturdy enough to continue working well for many years. That doesn't mean they'll never need maintenance, but only after many, many printed pages (possibly 100k++, depending on which model).
I can see replacement for compatibility, but so far, I've never had an issue with that on an HP printer. If there are new features available on newer models, that's a whole other issue. But for now, "if it ain't broke..." (as long as you have a back-up for emergencies, but that's a good idea even for newer equipment.) Also, it seems to me that we rarely see people posting here about problems with HP printers. JMO. |
