We bought a laser printer during the pandemic to keep the kids occupied with educational tasks and general craft type models.
It has been fucking awesome this past few years. It has supported the weight of many a schoolbag, been a home for car keys, kept a judo gi flat for a few days, and has even proven to be a worthy store of the multitude of swimming goggles we seem to accumulate.
Oh, it's printed a couple of documents too. I can't remember the last time I refilled the paper tray.
Yeah, I have a 20yo laser printer that's still going strong, although the network card crapped out.
Yeah laser units are pretty much indestructible in decent conditions. Can yours be connected by USB or parallel instead?
Yeah, the USB cable still works. I could set up a print server, but it's pretty unnecessary for the 3-4 times a year I print something.
