I happen to have an HP inkjet printer which I use every three or so months, and never had the dried ink problem. Always works reliably, including the display ink level function.

I think this "the ink dries up!" mantra is either outdated, doesn't affect HP anymore, or I got extremely lucky with my HP printers since 2014

Counterpoint annecdata - my cheap HP injet printer dried up. I got what I paid for (I guess even less).
The reason I posted is that I'm about to throw out an HP OfficeJet Pro with that issue. It's a few years old but it hasn't worked properly for a while now, and given the costs of ink it's not worth repairing. I used to have a laser and I'm planning to switch back.
Same here .. and it was super cheap. Their subscription is a dollar a month and they mail me inks when I’m about to run out of — happened once
Same here. I’m on the third cartridge in almost 3 years.
