I've had an operational printer in the household since around the year 2000, and I cannot fathom not having access to one. I would be a virtual headless chicken running around wailing about gutenburg or something.
Switching from Ink to Laser printers was a game changer as far as maintenance and costs (you can pick up a reconditioned laser printer from the early 2000's from a company that specializes in refurbing them and rock it for decades).
I love copiers
I have a printer, actually. I use it pretty often, too. No internet connected, while the Canon 4200 series do have wifi capability I generally stick to the USB cable.
In a pinch I would go to a library or I would even visit a print shop for more exotic prints.
A printer's cheap. It's the ink.
I just print at a local library
I wish I could turn mine on. The power button is so flimsy that it broke, so now it functions as a foot stool.
Sometimes, staples or FedEx just to print the lease, sign the lease, and scan the lease.
10 cents a page black and white at my town's library
Plus I can rent a DVD and chat with a cool librarian
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
Who the hell can afford a printer
Anyone can afford the printer, it's the ink that's the problem
Just get a Brother laser printer. It uses a normal power chord same exact as any desktop PC, and uses toner, same exact as any real printer that's not a money farming piece of shit ink jet.
DISCLAIMER: I have not investigated Brother or other brands for enshittification in recent years, so YMMV.
My Brother lazer color printer has just been sitting here, pooping out pages and pages of what ever I want, sometimes sitting there off for months, year after year. Still haven't changed the toner.
Same, had a samsung for 5 years and it sucked, my Brother has been solid for over 5 years now. Just get one that has network support, so you can print from any computer (and even a phone) in your network.
I really miss google cloud print, it was an amazing product (my printer still supports it).
Seconded! I have several Brother MFCs. Rock solid, great Linux support, rarely change the toner.
I had a Samsung laser back in college and now it's leaving streaks down the page. No clue how to clean it. I think I gave it away
I refuse to own a printer. On the odd occasion I need to print something and I'm not at work, the local copy place can do it for fuck all and I don't need to worry about ink subscriptions or the print queue not working that day.
I had to get one during covid lockdown since I wasn't going to the office and staples messed up my jobs most of the time (and it wasn't cheap). I got a laser all-in-one and got knock off toner from Amazon and it works great and I got it for less than $90
What the fuck? How do they return shit they don't want? Do young people just keep everything they order?
You cross out the address and write "return to sender" ? What has a printer got to do with it
I mean, the tweet says it - work printer. Though in all seriousness, I think the last time I needed to print a return label, I think I just did it at the UPS store for a few cents.
it's in the meme- they print things out at work to use at home
You're kidding, right?
