Can we appreciate, though, the mechanical difficulty of a machine dealing with a stack of microns-thin sheets and precisely plucking 1 of them at a time off of it fairly consistently despite variances in environment humidity and paper thickness? Probably static electricity plays havoc in some cases here.
I've worked with million dollar printing equipment in a factory before and it needed daily coddling as well.
On the other hand, the printer software/protocol/driver developers have no excuses at this point. There's no reason for that to still be as bad as it is in 2020.
- Pxtl 6y agoHonestly, paper jams and messed up pages and dry ink wells don't enrage me too much because that's where I appreciate they have a difficult task. It's the trash-fire software and the hilariously opaque UIs and the obscene razors/blades business models that drive me nuts. That said I don't hate my current Brother networked printer/scanner but that may simply be because I basically never print anything.
