HPQ is going to be depressed for a few years until investors can determine the affect of Dell's entrance into the printer market. From what I understand, Dell sells printers at something like 50% of HPQ's list price. Dell is relatively small in the market now, but gaining share, and if they can do to printers what they've done to PCs (sell them at lower cost because they have lower overhead), then what is HPQ's long term future?
