{{Main|Hewlett-Packard#History}}

Hewlett-Packard was founded in 1939 by Bill Hewlett and David Packard, who both graduated with degrees in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1935. The company started off in the HP Garage in Palo Alto, California.

In March 2015, HP announced that Bang & Olufsen would become the company's new premium audio partner for its computers and other devices. This replaced the partnership with Beats Electronics that ended upon being acquired by Apple Inc. in 2014.{{cite web|title=HP makes Bang & Olufsen its new audio partner|url=http://www.cnet.com/news/hp-makes-bang-olufsen-its-new-audio-partner/|website=CNET|access-date=February 21, 2016|archive-date=February 26, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160226074822/http://www.cnet.com/news/hp-makes-bang-olufsen-its-new-audio-partner/|url-status=live}}

On November 1, 2015, Hewlett-Packard was split into two companies. Its personal computer and printer businesses became HP Inc., while its enterprise business became Hewlett Packard Enterprise. The split was structured so that Hewlett-Packard changed its name to HP Inc. and spun off Hewlett Packard Enterprise as a new publicly traded company. HP Inc. retains Hewlett-Packard's pre-2015 stock price history and its former stock ticker symbol, HPQ, while Hewlett Packard Enterprise trades under its own symbol, HPE.See company history section of HP Inc.'s information page at [https://www.nyse.com/quote/XNYS:HPQ/company the NYSE Web site] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190609125203/https://www.nyse.com/quote/XNYS:HPQ/company|date=June 9, 2019}}

In May 2016, HP introduced a new PC gaming sub-brand known as Omen (reusing trademarks associated with VoodooPC), including gaming laptops and desktops (with the latter offering options such as CPU water cooling and Nvidia's GTX 1080 graphics, and promoted as VR-ready), and other accessories (such as monitors) designed to cater to the market.{{cite web|url=https://www.theverge.com/2016/5/26/11774332/hp-omen-gaming-line-announced-laptops-desktop-tower-accessories|title=HP launches new Omen line of gaming laptops, desktops, and accessories|last=Kastrenakes|first=Jacob|date=May 26, 2016|website=The Verge|language=en|access-date=February 28, 2020|archive-date=February 28, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200228180530/https://www.theverge.com/2016/5/26/11774332/hp-omen-gaming-line-announced-laptops-desktop-tower-accessories|url-status=live}} Between May and August of that year, certain assets were sold to OpenText, including TeamSite and Exstream.

In March 2022, HP announced the acquisition of the California-headquartered communications software and hardware provider Poly Inc. in an all-cash transaction.

In May 2024, HP announced its intentions on restructuring their lineup of consumer PCs in preparation for the next generation of computers with artificial intelligence, stating that most of its PC models (except Omen) would adopt a new branding nomenclature under the new Omni brand, which consisted of the OmniBook (a revival of an old brand that was defunct in 2002 after acquiring Compaq that year), OmniStudio and OmniDesk models.{{Cite web |last=Harding |first=Scharon |date=2024-05-20 |title=HP resurrects '90s OmniBook branding, kills Spectre, Dragonfly |url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/05/hp-resurrects-90s-omnibook-branding-kills-spectre-dragonfly/ |access-date=2024-05-20 |website=Ars Technica |language=en-us}}{{Cite web |last=Cranz |first=Alex |date=2024-05-20 |title=HP is simplifying its laptop lineup and embracing the AI PC |url=https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/20/24160524/hp-omnibook-elitebook-ai-pc-laptop-surface-event |access-date=2024-05-20 |website=The Verge |language=en}} The new Omni brand of computers featured AI-powered hardware and software, and currently coexists with HP's other existing, non-AI products {{asof|lc=y|2025}}, some of which are still being offered to this day.

Xerox stated in January 2020 that it would propose the replacement of HP's board of directors during its next shareholder meeting in April 2020. In a statement to TechCrunch, HP disclosed a belief that Xerox's bid was being "driven by" activist shareholder Carl Icahn.{{cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2020/01/23/xerox-wants-to-replace-hp-board-that-rejected-takeover-bid/|title=Xerox wants to replace HP board that rejected takeover bid|website=TechCrunch|date=January 23, 2020 |language=en-US|access-date=February 28, 2020|archive-date=October 9, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201009163330/https://techcrunch.com/2020/01/23/xerox-wants-to-replace-hp-board-that-rejected-takeover-bid/|url-status=live}} Xerox raised its bid to $24 per-share in February 2020.{{Cite news|last=Sebastian|first=Dave|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/xerox-raises-offer-for-hp-plans-to-launch-takeover-bid-in-early-march-11581342655|title=Xerox Raises Its Bid to Acquire HP|date=February 10, 2020|work=Wall Street Journal|access-date=February 10, 2020|language=en-US|issn=0099-9660|archive-date=February 28, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200228180532/https://www.wsj.com/articles/xerox-raises-offer-for-hp-plans-to-launch-takeover-bid-in-early-march-11581342655|url-status=live}}

On February 21, 2020, HP instituted a shareholder rights plan to fend off Xerox's pursuit of a hostile takeover. Four days later, HP announced that, if shareholders rejected the Xerox purchase, it planned on offering $16 billion in capital return between fiscal 2020 and 2022, including $8 billion in additional share buybacks and raising its "target long-term return of capital to 100% of free cash flow generation". HP criticized Xerox's bid as a "flawed value exchange" based on "overstated synergies".{{Cite news|last=Armental|first=Maria|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/hp-to-buy-back-15-billion-in-stock-to-battle-xerox-takeover-bid-11582578485|title=HP to Buy Back $15 Billion in Stock to Battle Xerox Takeover Bid|date=February 25, 2020|work=Wall Street Journal|access-date=February 28, 2020|language=en-US|issn=0099-9660|archive-date=February 28, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200228180532/https://www.wsj.com/articles/hp-to-buy-back-15-billion-in-stock-to-battle-xerox-takeover-bid-11582578485|url-status=live}}{{cite web|url=https://techcrunch.com/2020/02/25/hp-offers-its-investors-billions-in-shareholder-returns-to-avoid-a-xerox-tie-up/|title=HP offers its investors billions in shareholder returns to avoid a Xerox tie-up|website=TechCrunch|date=February 25, 2020 |language=en-US|access-date=February 28, 2020|archive-date=October 9, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201009163321/https://techcrunch.com/2020/02/25/hp-offers-its-investors-billions-in-shareholder-returns-to-avoid-a-xerox-tie-up/|url-status=live}} On March 5, 2020, HP rejected an offer at $24 per-share.{{Cite news|last=Sebastian|first=Dave|url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/hp-rejects-xerox-takeover-offer-11583408223|title=HP Rejects Xerox's Raised Takeover Offer|date=March 5, 2020|work=Wall Street Journal|access-date=March 9, 2020|language=en-US|issn=0099-9660|archive-date=March 7, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200307010409/https://www.wsj.com/articles/hp-rejects-xerox-takeover-offer-11583408223|url-status=live}}

In 2016, HP introduced firmware in its printers that disabled the printers if users used ink or toner cartridges which did not contain “new or reused HP chips or electronic circuitry.” As a result, HP faced scathing criticism (such as that from the Electronic Frontier Foundation{{cite web |last1=Doctorow |first1=Cory |title=What HP Must Do to Make Amends for Its Self-Destructing Printers |url=https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/09/what-hp-must-do-make-amends-its-self-destructing-printers |website=Electronic Frontier Foundation |date=September 26, 2016 |access-date=16 May 2023}}) and paid millions in class-action lawsuits, such as to certain customers in the US ($1.5 million{{Cite web |date=2019-04-25 |title=HP Printer Firmware Case - Joseph Saveri Law Firm |url=https://www.saverilawfirm.com/our-cases/hp/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221104182248/https://www.saverilawfirm.com/our-cases/hp/ |archive-date=2022-11-04 |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=www.saverilawfirm.com |language=en}}), Canada ($700,000 CAD{{Cite web |date=2019-04-24 |title=Lex Group Attorneys / Avocats - Montreal {{!}} HP OfficeJet Printers – Dynamic Security / Non-HP Ink Cartridges – Canadian Class Action Settlement |url=https://www.lexgroup.ca/classaction/hp-officejet-printers-dynamic-security-non-hp-ink-cartridges-canadian-class-action-settlement/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230525063023/https://www.lexgroup.ca/classaction/hp-officejet-printers-dynamic-security-non-hp-ink-cartridges-canadian-class-action-settlement/ |archive-date=2023-05-25 |access-date=2023-08-04 |language=en-US}}), Australia, and Europe ($1.350 million{{Cite web |title=HP and Euroconsumers settle on Dynamic Security {{!}} Euroconsumers |url=https://www.euroconsumers.org/activities/hp-and-euroconsumers-reach-a-settlement-on-dynamic-security-dispute |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230625064707/https://www.euroconsumers.org/activities/hp-and-euroconsumers-reach-a-settlement-on-dynamic-security-dispute |archive-date=2023-06-25 |access-date=2023-08-04 |website=www.euroconsumers.org}}), but without admitting wrongdoing. HP's stated that the firmware was intended to provide "the best consumer experience" and "protect" customers from "counterfeit and third-party ink cartridges that do not contain an original HP security chip and that infringe on our IP."{{cite web |last1=Harding |first1=Scharon |title=HP outrages printer users with firmware update suddenly bricking third-party ink |url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/03/customers-fume-as-hp-blocks-third-party-ink-from-more-of-its-printers/?comments=1&comments-page=1 |website=Ars Technica |date=March 9, 2023 |access-date=16 May 2023}}

In 2023, PC World reported that HP printers still prevent users from using third-party ink.{{Cite web |date=2023 |title=HP printers still block third-party ink.

In 2024, A French association called Halte à l'Obsolescence Programmée (HOP) filed a complaint against the printer manufacturer HP, accusing it of planned obsolescence practices. The complaint alleges that HP artificially blocks printers when it detects a cartridge as empty, even if there is ink remaining. HOP argued these practices force consumers to purchase new cartridges unnecessarily, contributing to waste and environmental harm.{{cite news | url=https://www.lemonde.fr/pixels/article/2024/11/26/l-association-halte-a-l-obsolescence-programmee-porte-plainte-contre-le-fabricant-d-imprimantes-hp_6414732_4408996.html | title=L'Association Halte à l'obsolescence programmée porte plainte contre le fabricant d'imprimantes HP }}
