Printers are the peak of asshole design

[-] rambaroo@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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. 🤓

[-] EsLisper@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

uhm, you forgot to also point out that laser printers use toner, not ink.

[-] curiosityLynx@kglitch.social 1 points 1 year ago

The downside of laser printers is that toner is very bad for your lungs.

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.

This thing still frightens me and I have no clue how is it legal.

[-] DrQuint@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Okay, thank you for ruining my optimism a bit more. Seriously, can't even trust a printer.

[-] rustonium@feddit.dk 2 points 1 year ago

Holy shit, I had no idea. That is crazy.

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Who TF just leaves a printer on the street and just expects someone else to get rid of it for them?!

[-] andy_wijaya_med@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

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

[-] TestZero@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] timespace@lemmy.ninja 3 points 1 year ago

That’s a 5head play, I’m using that next time I have trouble getting rid of something.

[-] csolisr@communities.azkware.net 1 points 1 year ago

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

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.

[-] suredoood@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Drusas@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

The flyer says that it had to be fixed, so the first person just dumped their trash.

[-] Hazdaz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] LillianVS@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Let's be honest, probably why the guy was throwing it out lol

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] totallynotarobot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] MashingBundle@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

[-] rockyrikoko@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Bootheal0179@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Just guessing, but she may be a professional pole dancer with a particular skill set
