     @nixCraft I love how we're desperately concerned about mars, the metaverse and AI but we still can't make basic video meetings and printers work

     @nixCraft another thing that's very broken today.

     Is there a Bugzilla for world problems? How can we submit this as a bug report for printer makers globally?

     Printers are the less cooperative peripherals ever. I've been cursing them left and right since the '80s. Including when fixing printer issues made me money ;) They're EVIL!

     I intentionally don't have a printer.

     I only need to print 3-4 times a year. I put my stuff on a thumb drive and take it to FedEx where I pay a pittance.

     I keep my desk space.

     I let FedEx handle the costs and frustrations of maintainer printers.

     @nixCraft This near-exact experience (mine was out of magenta) was what drove me to purchases a black and white grayscale laser printer. The decision was like 45% spite--it was practical, too, but man that was a frustrating experience.

     @nixCraft printers are hellspawn with the only purpose of making sys admins miserable, but at the same time they are insanely cool, especially inkjet models. The precision, speed and control over materials they have is astonishing
