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

I love copiers

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?

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.

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!!

Norway is pretty much paperless I only use the printer to print colouring pages for the kids.

Given the extortionate cost of printer ink, owning a printer is a mug’s game. Much like owning a car if you live in a walkable urban environment but might need to drive somewhere once every year or two.

Idk man. I’ve had the same printer for years and I don’t think I’ve ever replaced the ink. Very rarely have to print, but it’s sure useful when I need to. I use the scanner more than anything

Don't send anybody anything to print at home. If you need something physical in today's year, you go through that effort and mail it

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

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.

I have to use a printer for my work-from-home job. If you just buy a Brother laserjet printer and avoid other brands and inkjets, it's way more affordable. It costs more up front, but they're reliable and don't need to be replaced every year. My printer cost $250 and I've had it for at least five years at this point.

I have a cheapass printer that is probably listening to me. It has little ink (i barely used it and the black ink is at 50%) i use the scanner feature more often.

Who the hell can figure out how to make a printer work

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

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
