HP OfficeJet Pro 9012e All-in-One Printer

I reported the problem over two weeks ago regarding the issue with my new printer. it takes about 30sec for one page to print.  The gentleman could not fix the problem. he agreed to call back which never happened. Then I tried to contact HP via WhatsApp but they have been refusing to deal with it because it was already reported over the phone. The phone line is only open weekdays when I am at work. 

Very poor service. I can not believe it.

Thanks for your reply. The printer was checked over the phone on 22nd July and the gentleman was unable to fix and said he would phone me back in couple of day but he never phoned back . 😞

I spoke to HP again on 11th Aug, the gentleman was on the phone for 1-2 hours and tried to fix it. Then agreed to call back on Monday but as usual nobody called me back. At the end, he said because the system is down therefore can not give the case number. There was same excuse when I spoke to another person about a week before that. Now I checked the status of the case, it says closed. 😞

The printer was checked again over the phone on 11 Aug but was unable to fix it. The gentleman agreed to call back on 14th Aug but NO call back as usual. At the end of the call, he told me that his system is down and can not give me the case number. Yesterday when I check on HP website, the old case was closed without resolving the issue 😞
