    Sales
    of printers and multifunction products fell 4.2% in the second quarter
    to a total of 7.7 million units amid poor sales of photo printers,
    industry-tracker Gartner Inc. said on Tuesday.Also weighing on unit
    shipments was a move by many vendors to stop bundling free printers
    with purchases of computers or digital cameras, the researcher
    said.Hewlett-Packard Co.  easily continued to dominate shipments of
    both inkjet and page-printer shipments with a 56.4% and 42.7%
    respective share of the markets.H-P and Canon Inc. were the only
    top-tier vendors to enjoy growth in the market for inkjet printers and
    multifunction devices, which also allow users to do things like make
    copies and send faxes, Gartner said.
