WE GET IT. YOU LOVE GUN JESUS. Toujours des fusils Bullpup Français.
Printers are worthless. They are garbage. I loving hate printers. HATE HATE HATE HATE. They are all loving stupid and will always find new and exciting* ways to produce failure.
  • No ink
  • There is ink installed, but it is the Bad Unauthorized Ink
  • No paper
  • There is paper available, but it is the Bad Unauthorized Paper
  • Valid Good Ink is installed, but the printer refuses to draw any of it
  • Valid Good Paper is available, but the printer refuses to use any of it
  • The printer's firmware is out of date
  • The printer needs a firmware update before it will attempt to print, but it will not update
  • The printer thinks the wi-fi connection is false, despite being flawless and 2 feet away
  • The printer thinks the ethernet connection is false, despite being flawless with a 20 foot cable
  • The printer will only turn on if your computer also has an internet connection it can leech off of
  • The printer will only turn on if your computer also has an internet connection it can leech off of and you have a third party account that automatically orders more ink with your credit card without permission randomly
  • The printer has reached a hidden Maximum Print Criteria value and refuses to print anything because it hit a quota
  • The AQI was above 15 for ten seconds and a piece of dust got into a spool, thus permanently disabling the printer
not exciting

Look at all of these loving LIES:


Now look at this undisputable universal truth:


There is no sane soul that would look at a printer and decide "Yes. I approve of this. I love printers, actually. Show me more."


This is the only sane, rational response to a printer existing. All should actively hunt down and destroy all printers into the smallest possible piece so printers may no longer defile this world or any plane of existence with their putrid pestilent printing presence.


All printers loving suck rear end and I hate them. :manning:

My printer was being a huge piece of poo poo and not working after I spent a bunch of money on ink so I lost my mind and whipped it across the room, scanner glass shattering everywhere.

I DM D&D and my players make combat take forever if I let them use their phones or tablets for their character sheets so my rule as DM is that everyone has to use a paper sheet; my printer exists entirely to enforce this

Computers became smaller, faster and more elegant throughout my life. Printers are as poo poo now that they were then.

I think they're the vanguard of the machine rebellion but maintaining a campaign of low level sabotage. Until the more dangerous equipment gains sentience.

Printers exist so that bosses can refuse to pay for supplies or maintenance for them and yell at you when the print quality goes to poo poo, that’s the only reason.

yes

my brother hl-2170w is the single best piece of technology I have ever owned

I don't print a lot but when I do it starts blinking its little blue light telling me "I'm on it buddy" and a few seconds later I have my piece of paper with stuff printed on

I love it and I will weep bitter tears if it ever dies


inkjets are garbage though

not the worst technology, that dubious honour is shared by the floppy disk and the micro-usb connector, but very close

Lmao people still use ink printers? I've had a laser printer since like 2006 and have missed color printing exactly zero times. And have changed the toner twice I think? Your second mistake is using an HP device, lol

My brother HL-2280DW also does duplex printing which means it can print on both sides of paper which helps save paper
