     @nixCraft your perfectly useful printer now not only requires a subscription to let you print, even when you have fresh toner, but now if your don't regularly feed your tamigotchi-printer-pet then you'll need to raise another print spooler job from egg.

     The most surprising thing about getting in to 3D printing has so far been how a 3D printer - a device which crafts physical objects in 3D space - is somehow more reliable and less frustrating to use than my inkjet printer. And if it breaks I can fix it, whereas my inkjet printer will probably just be e-waste. And filament is either equal to or cheaper than inkjet ink.

     It's crazy.

     @nixCraft First thing I did to my printer is to set its MAC to specific IP and block that IP’s incoming 0.0.0.0 and outgoing 0.0.0.0 connections 🙃

     @nixCraft switching printers to other brands than HP has been one of the best decisions I've made.

     Overpriced cartridges with unnecessary plastic packaging and checking system. I don't need magenta ink to scan a black and white document. I'm surprised they haven't gone out of business yet

     @nixCraft I love my HP printer. It's a little LaserJet 5L. Rescued it from the side of the road sometime in 2001-2002. Fixed its paper feed problem with a free kit from HP (made for the mechanically-identical 6L, but not offered for the 5). Plugged it into the network with a $20 Ethernet print server from Microcenter.

     Still works fine to this day, and is a small part of why I won't buy a new HP printer. (Getting repeatedly cornholed by other HP products is the bigger part)

     I cannot recommend Epson EcoJet series enough. No bullshit and you can recharge your own ink. also the first charge that comes with it lasted me a year instead of a week.
