HP: Rival Printers Mean No More HPs Through Dell

    Well look at it this way.. HP Printers sell thru dell because they're part of a package deal. To buy just the printer alone from Dell is usually more expensive.

    If Dell is selling their own printers, they're going to package their printers with their systems, not HPs. So since Dell selling them standalone isn't really worth it to HP, and they're not going to be part of the package deal, they're probably not going to sell many, if any, thru Dell. So what's the point?
