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.

Got a simple brother laser printer. Duplex, BW only, works flawlessly with Linux and as a network printer.

4-5 times a year I'll need to print 10 pages. Add an additional one every two weeks.

The printer definitely paid for itself in convenience.

Picked one for free two years ago, works perfect, I buy pirated cartridges for like, 30$ per entire set, evep prints high quality photos...

Who the hell can afford printer cartridge

laser is the secret

Just picked one up for $10 at habitat for humanity restore. Works perfectly, scanner too! Still got em.

I’ve heard Xennial and even heard Xellennial, had not heard Xenninial yet. Impressed.

Printers are scams.....the end

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 had to print 2 whole pages a few years ago, and gone to a office supply store. told them i would like to pay for it by card...cashier told me if i use the card, the banking transaction cost more than printing two a4 papers, so long story short it was free.

these stores usually have a printer so expensive i wouldnt be able to pay for it with all my organs, but its cheaper to print there then having a printer at home.

as for work, i dont like the looks people give me when i print there. i like to keep my private life out of the office, i recommend the same. if you want to print out a long ass book however, and nobody cares at work, go ahead.

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.

Don't ask Richard Stallman to view a non-printed webpage.

I have a printer, and know where the power cord is! I even have it paired to my wifi and use it to scan stuff. Don't ask me to print anything, I can't afford the ink.

Last year I bought an old second-hand Brother laser printer for $20, with 60% ink and 75% on the drum. Works like a charm.

I just write the document by hand the one time a year I need a printer. Doesn't work for everything but is good enough for lots of the stuff that still requires your signature in ink

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

What? I have a working printer and a box full of power cables.

If this is me in several years, I think my version will be “my precious pre-enshittification brother laser is so old they stopped making third party toner carts for it” or probably more likely something like “how do we have a working plugged-in printer on wifi that we can’t find? Did we build a wall in front of it? How long was it sitting in the corner of that spare room?”

The entire printer industry is being funded by our grandparents, I am not fucking joking. My grandpa has bought MULTIPLE printers last year alone, please some one send help.

Personally, I like not needing to dedicate the space to a printer. The rare times I need to print something, I'll just go to a store with a print shop like staples. Over the last 8 years, I've spent less than $10 on all of my printing needs, which is still way cheaper than even the most cost-effective, least-HP printer out there.
