Rated 5 out of 5 by Glen07 from High Efficiency As far as H P products go, I am highly satisfied. And I find the ordering process of ongoing suppllies highly efficient. But could your tell if if HP has an official repair techician going under the name of "Share Point"? With money paid to that name?.I am finding it hard to information.
