Roughly 30 years and 200 million LaserJet printers after its introduction, the HP LaserJet printer is still a staple for businesses. And that’s a testament to the company’s commitment to continual innovation.
To celebrate the achievement, HP has created a collection of limited-edition, commemorative HP LaserJet printers that will be displayed at HP Customer Experience Centers around the world. The company is also launching its “200 Million and Counting” sweepstakes, which invites customers to upload testimonials-personal stories, images, and videos-about how the HP LaserJet has helped their businesses succeed.
