    On the one hand, I’m really excited about this because the printer industry is literally the worst. On the other hand, I haven’t printed anything for years, I probably won’t use it much/ever.

      I print things still pretty consistently. Random forms that need hard copies to have a wet signature, activity sheets for the kids to color, templates for drilling holes in walls, etc. Make the business a lot less toxic and I think you’ll start seeing printers in more homes again.

      Its probably just much cheaper and easier, unless you absolutely have to have color, to go to good will and get a brother laser printer for like 10 bucks.

      I got one years ago and its still on the original toner cart it came with, and I print decently often.

        I tried that once with a Dell LaserJet. Managing printer drivers was a nightmare, and every time I plugged it in, the lights flickered. Eventually I got rid of it because the hassle wasn’t worth the effort.
