They have to print the invisible printer identification dots somehow.
huh
Printers print very small dots on the sheet of paper you print so it canbe identified. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Identification_Code
doesn’t help that printer ink is one of the most expensive liquids in the world and the whole business model of printer companies is based on selling overpriced ink, so much so that they sell printers at a loss and then try to block out third party cartridges
Fuck my printer ink is like $20 for 3 of all 4 colors and the larger black cartridge it has. I love my Canon.
I tossed my Canon ink printer in the trash lol.
it started with low on cyan, so I did what it asked for and replaced the whole ink set, but then found out that the previous ink has dried on the ink tuner since I haven’t used the printer for ~6 months and didn’t feel like spending any more money on this shit.
So I got my myself a laser brother printer and it’s been kicking for over 6 years now
my parent bought a HP deskjet printer for us, but the ink is so expensive that any picture needs be small that the ink don’t run out as quickly. and the software is garbage too.
This is not only HP my old Epson too. Now my Xerox laser try to print even if no more toner inside 😅
And that isn’t even getting into their drivers and software. Foolish me bought a printer with a scanner and thought I’d be able to just install one little piece of software and be able to print and scan. How silly of me to forget that I to search Google to find instructions that weren’t provided by HP, and download an application that the printer’s instructions did not tell me to install, in order to get the it working.
I almost want this printer to die just so I can never own an HP printer again in my life.
If you use Windows, you can just do the following:
- Go to the control panel, then devices and printers.
- Right click on your printer, but make sure it is connected first.
- You should be able to see “Scan” as one of the options, click on it.
And you’re done! You do not need any special programs or anything like that because Windows already has a built-in one.
This is how printers get introduced to VERY FAST crowbars.
Get a laserjet.
Whenever these plastic fucking pieces of shit misbehave, I get interested in thermal depolymerization again. I’d like to start removing microplastics from our environment, slow as it takes. I need to build an electric kiln and some way to keep the decomposition chamber inside oxygen-free…
MAGENTA!!!
I fking love that skit xD
(if that was what you were referencing)Honestly, yours is better. I was thinking of Shaq
Who needs color anyway? A black laser printer is the way to go :)
Yeah. The vast majority of people have no real reason to own a color printer. Black and white laser does the job and only if you need to print something like photos at home, should you even consider an inkjet.
Even then it depends how many you want to print.
Often will work out cheaper to have somebody else print them and post them to you.
Low on cyan!!1!
