HP small business printers are almost as bad as their home printers.

Around 2006, I started at a company it had a couple of small business MFPs. I spent more time fixing the printers then they spent printing on them. I ended up talking them into a couple of Enterprise class MFPs They were fantastic but we spent several grand on printers. It's kind of a shame we don't print so much, but we scan to email and fax a lot and it was worth it to have something that just works all the time.

I kind of regret not going with brother at this point though we probably could have gotten away much cheaper.
