I have never found that to be true of my HP printers. I've owned three HP inkjet printers in the last 25 years. They all got very infrequent use and despite it worked when I needed them. The first two survived about ten years each, the third is still going strong.

I was concerned that the latest one, where the print heads are a permanent part of the printer rather than part of the print cartridge would deal less well with infrequent usage, but my fears were unfounded.
