David, I have to say, that in the US, that is not the case and in my own experience - yes I have owned, Espsons, Canons and HP's - that HP's are reliable. The worst reliability that I have experienced is the cheap Epsons. They print beautifully when they work. But head clogs and paper feeding really are poor (785 and 820). I had an 870 model (cost much more) that always worked great. I have had 4 or 5 Canons - all printed pretty good - no real problems. The HP's I have owned have performed reliably. They are not the best photo printers. If your intention is home printing of photos, I would get an expensive Epson. But for everyday printing (non-photo) I would not hesitate to get an HP.
