I have a printer

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.

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.

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

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 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
