Accessibility for HP inkjet printers

1 in 7 people in the world have a disability. Removing barriers that otherwise prohibit them from engaging as dignified and independent, equal and active members of our communities is critical from a human rights, security, and economic perspective.

Our commitment

At HP, we believe that creating inclusive technology affirms human dignity, promotes independence, and unleashes creativity. Every person’s access needs are diverse and individual and can be situational, acquired, temporary, or lifelong. We are leading the way in our commitment to making a sustainable impact on the lives of people around the world through our accessibility efforts, including:

  • Accessibility outreach, partnerships, sponsorship, and community involvement

  • Inclusive design goals and product improvements that aim to incorporate diverse user feedback into product development, including from the global disability community

  • Following the HP Test Plan to assess how well our products conform to relevant accessibility standards and sharing the results with our customers

  • Supporting governments around the world in the policy-making process by offering accessibility subject matter expertise via industry groups
