Funny enough, that was the last model I had to do that to, a 9000 series. We had several, but they are dying off steadily to print head failure errors. Reminds me of the Whack-a-Mole scandal.
I would 100% buy a used enterprise printer if I could get a proper deal on it, but that is because I have been a certified HP printer tech and have fixed hundreds of printers. If you count receipt printers and other brands of office printer, I have probably touched over a thousand for anything from rebuilds to jams. There was a year when I rebuilt 10-20 printers a week as part of a schedule.
Anyhow, what I’m getting at isn’t that they are better built or anything like that. There just happens to be enough third party vendors that you never have to pay them a cent to keep a printer running. Someone else already paid them the 2-6k for the printer, and it’s e-waste if it goes into the dump. I can ship of Thesius it indefinitely, even if I have to buy parts from God knows where.
