How many customers and printers are in the HP imaging and printing worldwide installed base?

Question

Options

• A30 million customers, 200 million printers
• B100 million customers, 400 million printers
• C400 million customers, 1 billion printers
• D200 million customers, 600 million printers

• A
  6% (2)
• B
  89% (31)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option B (100 million customers, 400 million printers) reflects HP's widely cited installed base figures used in their enterprise and partner training materials. The ratio of roughly 4 printers per customer makes sense for enterprise accounts where businesses deploy multiple devices across offices and departments. Options A and C are incorrect because they represent figures that are either too low (A) or significantly overstated (C) - 1 billion printers would represent a number exceeding realistic market saturation. Option D (200 million customers, 600 million printers) inflates both figures and doesn't match HP's documented installed base data.

Memory tip: Think "1-4-0-0" - 100 million customers, 400 million printers - the printer count is exactly 4x the customer count, which is a clean multiplier easy to recall under pressure.
