== Is HP still technically Hewlett-Packard? (Not to be confused with Hewlett-Packard Enterprise) ==

Good evening.

I am aware Hewlett-Packard split into two standalone companies; Hewlett-Packard Enterprise which focuses on servers and business solutions and HP Inc which focuses on laptops and printers.

The point of this question is HP Inc still technically ''Hewlett-Packard'' as their products carry the original HP logo and their printers still use the cartridges with the nozzles embedded into them like their old 1990s inkjet printers? Like my old 2015 inkjet printer that carried the ''Hewlett-Packard''[sic] labelling on it, even though my 2022 replacement printer that uses the same ink cartridges except the machine itself just has the HP logo (no mention of 'Hewlett-Packard' on it?

Can someone please enlighten me on this? Thanks. [[User:The Frogman740|The Frogman740]] ([[User talk:The Frogman740|talk]]) 19:13, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
:I think it's HP Inc. is the legal successor to Hewlett-Packard.
:If you want to say what "is" Hewlett-Packard now, the best answer is probably "[[Agilent]] and [[Keysight]] and [[Hewlett Packard Enterprise]] and [[HP Inc.]]" - listing Agilent and Keysight first, as that's where their original instrumentation business is, and HP Inc. last, as the "PC and printers/scanners" business was a business they entered after the instrumentation business and the minicomputer/enterprise computing business. Given that HP Inc. apparently has the calculator business, maybe it could be moved earlier in the list, although it's probably only a small part of the business.
:That answer could also be interpreted as "nothing", i.e. there is ''no'' one company that encompasses all the businesses that Hewlett-Packard has been in. [[User:Guy Harris|Guy Harris]] ([[User talk:Guy Harris|talk]]) 22:06, 7 September 2025 (UTC)
