I wish I could turn mine on. The power button is so flimsy that it broke, so now it functions as a foot stool.

Have you ever considered the fact that you can simply take it apart and repair the button?

Is this a trap question where whatever I say will be contradicted and berated? Because your tone feels a bit arrogant and condescending right from the get-go.

I have a canon pixma printer and the goddamn IT people can’t make it work with my new laptop. Fucking bullshit.

What the fuck? How do they return shit they don't want? Do young people just keep everything they order?

Printers are scams.....the end

I have had a series of perpetually 10+ year old printers that have been handed down to me by Boomers. I print something maybe once a year, so I usually have to go through a half hour of printer cleaning to get the dried out ink to flow again. I really should just get rid of it and go to a photocopy place the next time I need a physical copy of something.

Edit: I just realized it would literally be easier and faster to burn something onto paper with my laser engraver. I think I just talked myself into quitting printers.

I have two ten year old non color hp laser printers. I bought them at a surplus sales along with two new toners. So far I'm still on the first printer. They are old enough that they have no drm. The work with everything and I expect them to outlast me. I print about ten to twenty pages a year.

The hardest part about returns is driving to the local library to print out the return label for 25 cents.

Much less trouble than owning a printer!!

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

My label maker sees FAR more use. I do have to bring a printed form to the post office to confirm my purchase of my new P.O. Box though. Oh, also to get my replacement passport. Other than that, I can’t remember the last time I used it for printing.

I recently bought a nice Epson tank printer and I love it. The ink is lasting so long too I print a ton and am not even halfway through the ink it came with. Nice prints too. Photos
