How I would love a printer that just works
- DaiPlusPlus 5y agoWhat do you actually print, though? I don't own a printer nor scanner - and I haven't done-so for almost 10 years now. If I need to print or scan something I'd use my (pre-WFH) workplace's copier room or (as now) use my town's library's facilities. ...fortunately I haven't needed to print or scan anything at short-notice, though most "scanning" I do thesedays is through some document-scanning app on my phone which gives good-enough results. I know plenty of people want to be able to print their own photos at home, but I'm utterly unconvinced that any home inkjet or even color-laser printer is going to give results anywhere near as good as a commercial print place. And of course, there's the unavoidable HP printer-ink-costs-more-than-human-blood problem - I find it marvelous that HP has been the number 1 factor in driving people away from buying home printers.
- tomcam 5y agoStop it right now. This is not a site where you indulge your nuttiest, most insane fantasies. Seriously, though, I got one of those reservoir printers and it has finally solved all my printer issues. It cost about $380 a year ago but the great thing is I can ignore it for months at a time, then just turn it on and use it when I need to. Unlike the cheaper printers, it doesn’t dry out and start functioning.
