Why do we put up with this shit? Stuff should just work. If cars were as tempramental as printers, there would be riots.
Anyone from the UK?

I’m on a three day course and can feel my life essence being drained away
feel for you buddy...I haven't done one of those for a while, but remember the post lunch sessions always being a real test of resolve not to fall asleep....
I can already see the news, the great printer riots of 2025....
There aren't many things in life that 'just work' unfortunately!
Most things do. I turn on the lights, they work. My Iphone does everything it's supposed to without drama. My car starts first time every time even on the coldest days. I put the heating on, my house gets warm. I try to print out a document at work and unless the stars are properly aligned, the gates of hell open.
you're absolutely right, I was a little quick to be dissmissive......sadly a common trait online!
Proud to say I've never in my whole life stayed awake all the way through a powerpoint presentation.

Yes with all today's modern technology you'd think they'd design an easy to setup printers. I should be able to print off my phone but even before the new Internet hub it constantly told me 'printer not available ' or took 2 days to print a basic document. Okay so might be slight exaggeration but you get the gist lol

They're working on it. The number of people getting locked out of their own cars is growing exponentially.

The saving grace for my printer is it doesn't give a fuck if one of the inks is empty, so as I use it pretty rarely stuff will get printed in blue when the black runs out, then red etc.
I finally went and brought new ink when I decided I couldn't send a letter about my dad's probate off in in light pink......
Lucky. Mine's an A3 photo printer, a complete set of ink cartridges sets me back £180.

Mine's an HP All-in-One. It's getting a bit old now, but still works. Most faults are fixed by turning it off and on again.

And a very good evening to everyone.
Have we fixed the printer and water issues?

Ordered a new laser all in one for the parents . Personally I hate them, but they like to use the copier function, so to them it’s a copier.

I have that problem with my sheet feed scanner. It’s Constantly updating its software and firmware. Ok, maybe not constantly, but much more than it should, more than my iPhone does

It's usually cheaper to buy a new laser printer than refill the toner. Cop29 and all that huh?

Really? I’d say that about ink jets but not lasers. I suppose it depends what you like and what Toner you get. I like cannons. New laser printer cartridges don’t have as much toner as the replacements. Often enough for 500 pages instead of 2500.

my printer keeps telling me off for not buying "authentic" ink

If the manufacturers were "authentic" about how much use you'd get out of a printer and the cost of cartridges then we'd be in with a chance.
We'll never escape the circling plughole of our demise until they get on board.
Happy evening everyone.

I may finally be saying goodbye to my reliable MacPro 2008. It works just fine, but the browsers are becoming obsolete. It's also good for keeping the room warm
