The appliance that elicits anger and frustrated at it’s mere sight. The treacherous device that never worked right.

    Not when I am done with it. From having to support them before I am so glad I don’t own one.

      You need to look into something thoroughly classic, like an HP 4050DTN. I’ve had mine since 1999 and it’s lasted me through two degrees with only 3 toner cartridges. I get the ones that can do 20,000 sheets at 5% coverage. And while yes, other parts like the fuser are now clamouring for replacement, to date the only things I have ever done are replace the toner cartridges and upgrade the JetDirect module to keep pace with my wired network.

      Not bad for a printer that’s a quarter century old.

      Edit: JFC I feel old now.

        toner

        This is why. You bought a laser printer. People balk at the upfront price but they last way longer and the price per page is a lot cheaper, not to mention better print quality
