She bought it for work reasons.

I was not part of the printer decision.

I own a brother printer.

    Reminds me of my Uncle Kieth’s house in the 1970s. He had a color TV but the sound didn’t work, so he put an old black & white portable TV on top of it for sound. When you wanted to change the channel, you had to get up and change them both.

      It’s an old Jeff Foxworthy joke, too.

      If you have a working television set on top of a non-working television, you might be a redneck.

    As far as inkjets go, she didn’t do terrible. If you need color and don’t want something huge, this is a reasonable decision. But stacking it a top of the dead carcass of it’s cousin is probably some sort of robot hate crime. You better hope they aren’t telling the Seiko/Epson AI about it.

    At the rate these things fail, the printer stack will be holding up the roof before the end of next year

    Pretty sure I have that exact same Cannon printer.

    It’s garbage and really needs replacing, but I print like 2 pages a year.

      I have a Canon PIXMA (got it for free) and it’s fucking garbage, but if you only need to print like 5 things a year it’s hard to justify getting a new one. Despite all that we probably already spent $100s in ink.

          I know, it’s such a scam. I think those ink cartridges have a timer in addition to just checking the ink level.

          I think one of these days the thing will enrage me so much I’ll just instant buy a Brother.

    I feel personally attacked here because this is something I can envision myself doing once I get another printer to save space

    (1) side quest pending: Find the Future Eye of Sauron 🔥.

    Hi, OP. I can’t tell if in the background that is a art canvas or an air filter directly behind the space heater. I have that same Honeywell heater with a 2-blade fan. They are nice, quiet, and work just fine. If using it as an ambient air cleaner, with fan-only (no heat) mode - that will be fine --very restrictive, yes, but still catches some dust i guess. A note on the 2-blade… they perform the worst pulling air thru a filter. A 2-blade is just a cost-effective fan design for small air movement things; like space heaters and tiny desk fans. Anything with more than 2 blades will perform better. That’s my nerd thoughts.

    tldr; space heater fire hazard possible 😎.
