Interestingly the bulk of that printer didn't come from HP. Canon made the print engine and HP (alongside Apple and a few others) put their controller inside it.

It was probably the peak for reliability, I worked for a company that sold a lot of them and the failure rate increased quite noticeably when they introduced the LaserJet 4.

HP bought Samsung's printer business and is transitioning away from Canon print engines wherever they can (i.e. not for high-end models).
