      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

        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.

      it’d require that all OEM’s agree to specific standards and they won’t because being closed source = $$$.

      likewise why no one is reverse engineering printers, there’s no $$$ in it

            The latest update to the printing press: adding a 3d printer to print new plates, and a recycler to reuse that plastic once you’ve printed your page.

            Uses 10x the energy, recycled plastic gets junked because of ink contamination, but still 25% cheaper than running an hp inkjet because you can use bulk ink and don’t have to keep replacing your dried up CMY inks to stop it from refusing to print your black and white document.

        The demonic summoning ritual involved in bringing a printer to life is awfully hard to replicate using non-proprietary methods.

      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

        I’ve heard stories about people putting out old appliances and furniture out on the curb with a “free” sign. It sits out there for 4 weeks. Then they put out a sign that says “$20. inquire within” And an hour later it was stolen.

        We have actual FB groups in many cities in my country where people tell others where there are skips usually accompanied with image. Even my own apartment building allows people to leave things they don’t need for other people to take. My rocking chair, hallway table, and a lot of other stuff were found in one of these ways. I think I have bought maybe 5 furniture pieces in my life, the rest are someone’s cast-offs although some could be classed as antiques. My dining table was my great grandma’s. People don’t really leave stuff at the curb here though.

        CR user here. One time we were taking some items out of my house in order to have them recycled for parts. I was taking out an old washing machine we had replaced some time ago, needing some major fixes to go back to usability… it had already been taken away by someone in the five minutes it took me to return back to the front of my house with another batch of things, and I couldn’t help to chuckle at the speed in which things got recycled in my neighborhood

      I mean, if it’s a functional printer and they didn’t want it, that’s an easy way to give it to somebody else to use.

    Never ever buy an HP printer.

    Their hardware is mostly brilliant but the software (drivers, DRM) should make it a stop-sale for most people. It is such a shame that what used to be an incredible engineering company has turned to such shit because of executive incompetence and greed.

      I’m so glad my old HP printer still works. It has none of that bs and I can use MUCH MUCH cheaper refills, which are somehow even filled more than HP’s xl ink cartridges? I want HP to know that I will continue using this printer and they won’t ever see another cent of mine.

    I thought they were giving the interaction a glowing 7/6 review until I realized they meant they did it on June 7.

    I SMRT

    We had an HP Inkjet printer for over 5 years, one of the older ones. Ink was expensive, but tbh everything else worked great.

    Then we got our new HP Inkjet. Genuinely the worst machine I have ever owned. I can’t fucking scan anything without an HP account, and even then it hardly works. I’m going to buy a Brother laser printer soon, as soon as I bring it home that HP printer is going to be smashed to bits in my driveway.

      Yes please. HP printers are the dystopia we were warned of. You can’t print with the dumb thing even if ink is in it if you don’t keep paying for the ink subscription.

    HP Smart is complete ass lmao. I have an HP laser printer that prints well, but it’s always a headache to start printing anything wirelessly from my laptop. Can only ever rely on the ol’ USB cable.
