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.

I wish I could turn mine on. The power button is so flimsy that it broke, so now it functions as a foot stool.

Have you ever considered the fact that you can simply take it apart and repair the button?

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?

I haven't had a printer in maybe a decade. No, more than that. Like fifteen years.

Got a few lying around somewhere. It'd take weeks to get them working. Fuck it I'll just print to a pdf and email the file.

I love copiers

Given the extortionate cost of printer ink, owning a printer is a mug’s game. Much like owning a car if you live in a walkable urban environment but might need to drive somewhere once every year or two.

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

The hardest part about returns is driving to the local library to print out the return label for 25 cents.

Much less trouble than owning a printer!!

My label maker sees FAR more use. I do have to bring a printed form to the post office to confirm my purchase of my new P.O. Box though. Oh, also to get my replacement passport. Other than that, I can’t remember the last time I used it for printing.

Idk man. I’ve had the same printer for years and I don’t think I’ve ever replaced the ink. Very rarely have to print, but it’s sure useful when I need to. I use the scanner more than anything
