Printers are the peak of asshole design
If you can afford it, cough up the money for a laser printer. I’ve had mine for years and only changed the ink once. So much better than ink jet printers, which are a total scam
I switched to a Lazer printer last year and damn so so so so much better than that fucking hp inkjet printer I had.
uhm, AkcHualLy, pushes glasses up it’s spelled laser, not Lazer. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emissions of Radiation. LASER. 🤓
uhm, you forgot to also point out that laser printers use toner, not ink.

Elder printers are well worth the sacrifices one must make to acquire one.
Tried to fire up an older HP monochrome laser printer that is still working perfectly.
The problem? Windows 11 has no drivers, and it literally cannot be used at all. Not through Wi-Fi (old drivers, too), not through the USB port, or my shared through my router.
I mean, seriously, this stuff should work on a generic print driver until the end of time, but nope.
Hot news, linux is incredibly compatible with printers. CUPS is very well designed. With relatively little technical knowledge you could probably plug a raspberry pi into virtually any old printer and get it running with the Pi as a print server sharing it with the network.
Never thought I’d see the day when it’s easier to get a printer working in Linux than Windows. How the turntables.
It’s actually been the case for 20 years now. Same with lots of other devices.
Around 2008-ish I saw a Tesco-branded webcam for something like 5€. I was just in need of one, so I looked up if it’s not, by any chance Linux compatible. It was, right out of the box.
Same thing with Sony Ericsson phones of that era. Capable of lots of things, like Ethernet over USB or Mass Storage, but with Windows it all needed a massive and annoying driver package. Linux - plug and go.
Same with Bluetooth and lots of other things.
Who TF just leaves a printer on the street and just expects someone else to get rid of it for them?!
Hahaha. In Germany many people put their not used anymore items just outside of their houses with signs: “to give away”. I’ve found furnitures, books, washing machine??? :D
Hmmm, maybe I’ve been on the internet too long but the handwriting doesn’t look like it was written on a vertical pole. It looks like it was easy to write
Just guessing, but she may be a professional pole dancer with a particular skill set
