Meanwhile, I’m laughing all the way to the bank with my Brother color laser.

Yes, the printer didn’t have a low subsidized price up front. But now I can enjoy big toner cartridges that seem to last forever. And I can use all the knockoff ones I want. And the printer itself is bulletproof.

Huge fan of Brother!

Oh yeah, this is awful.

I recently bought a new printer, and getting something like an HP set up on Linux was a heart-breaking experience.

It’d be really nice to have a Kickstarter for an “open-source” printer, where cartridge standards can be produced and you can buy them and use them freely.

Oh brother…

Bought a cheap HP printer about 10 years ago, max usage is maybe 50 prints a month, most months maybe less than 10, most times 0. Sits there and indeed it’s bloaty software is the most painful.
