| In a Nutshell |
More bad news for HP:
below-average grades for out-of-box problems and significant problems
with its printers. Readers aren’t thrilled with HP’s phone support
either. |
Epson didn’t make a great
showing overall. Readers weren’t pleased with the reliability of Epson’s
printers, and the vendor’s support received average to low marks. One
bright spot: the company’s printers have relatively fewer out-of-box
problems. |
