Top 4 HP Printer Help Websites and Forums
Over the years we have seen some great HP printer help sites come and go. These websites have been critical to supporting the industry as they have documented most printer problems and the various solutions all in one place.
The vast majority of these printer troubleshooting websites are run and maned by dedicated technicians that have no connection to the OEM and in most cases are not compensated. They love what they do and enjoy sharing their knowledge with the world.
