    Just asking, what printer issues do you tend to have?

    I have a 20 year old thing that just works. Though I need to figure out what kind of grease I could use on the moving parts. It sounds like it could use some fresh grease now. Especially the scanner.

      exactly, shit worked, my father have 2 16 years old printers and they work perfectly, but printers today are garbage

      at least we have a huge af gray market for cartrdige refill where i live, so companies can’t rely on that scam to make more profit

        Buy a brother laser printer and you’ll never look back! It does take some minor maintenance/repairs once in a while, but nothing a YouTube video won’t teach you.

      Printers then were made to last. Printers now are made to break. Same with a lot of things now. Fuck planned obsolescence.
