HP, Canon, Epson & Brother
An American duopoly and three Japanese houses. Nothing else.
Home and office printing is one of the most thoroughly closed categories there is: HP of Palo Alto against Canon, Epson and Brother of Japan, with Xerox and Lexmark in the business tier. No European manufacturer competes at any price point, and the consumable cartridges — where the actual money is — are locked to the machine by design. Europe does make industrial and 3D printers: see the 3D printing card, where Prusa of Prague leads.

Not an unfinished card: we looked, and nothing in Europe does this at a scale you could actually switch to. It is here so the gap is visible — these are the places where something is missing rather than merely losing.
