Ah, that makes more sense. I've had it fuck up but never anything mind boggling.
You don't know printer bullshit until you use mine. Files scanned to a network folder will transfer at about 7kb/s over Ethernet, USB seemingly transfers immediately [editline]24th September 2016[/editline] It will randomly do a head clean at 2am, eating a ton of ink The cartridges cut out well before they're actually empty It occasionally pulls multiple sheets of paper through at once I can go on :v:
I fucking hate inkjet printers. If their color print quality wasn't so good I'd use them as a reason to install a second laser printer for color.
Just get a laser printer since 99% of the shit you print is probably going to be monochrome anyways. If you want to print photos on photo paper, then get a proper photo printer.
I keep meaning to pick up a color laser when that one decent brother model always goes on sale for $300 but I always put it off.
Get one used. For $50 you get something decent with the cartridges still half filled with toner and when they run out you can go get another one. For a brief while I owned a Xerox Solid Ink printer. The quality was amazing and the ink didn't expire but the blocks were expensive to replace.
I'm currently looking for a laser printer that at least has wifi capabilities, doesn't have to have a scanner but it might be useful sometime in the future. It would be paid for by my company, I just need to pick one and order it.
I'm surprised that there isn't some disgruntled sysadmin who got fed up with printers and made his own startup printer company that make printers that 'just werk'™ and aren't jews with the ink.

The thing that just kills me about printers are the drivers. There is no reason a printer driver should ever be more than a couple MB. Even with some graphics they shouldn't be more than a few hundred kB. I've seen HP and Lexmark drivers that were over 800 MB. Why. What the fuck could they possibly be doing that requires that much stuff?

The only reason i can think of is that it is a driver that covers a shitload of printers. But that would make sense.
The printer driver probably doesn't have a steam id though. [t]https://helifreak.duckdns.org/image/20160924114453562.png[/t] Fuck it maybe it does. [editline]24th September 2016[/editline] Slippery Communist 百合 is now playing Epson® WorkForce™ WP-4530
I have a HP LaserJet P 1102w and it's like, the only printer I have had no problems with. Has Wifi and when we changed our router, it worked like magic after I entered the new SSID and password. All the computers that had drivers didn't even flinch, even though the new local IP was different. The drivers can be installed from its local webpage etc. It works and that's really weird.

[QUOTE=kaze4159;51098195]Because they can't just give you a driver, they have to give you a bloaty as fuck "Software Suite"[/QUOTE] Which tends to be a convenient way for you to slow down your start up, buy expensive ink online and check your ink levels inaccurately. My hp ink jet at home has wifi and no where on the software has a wifi setup panel. Like seriously what.

Mali drivers are ass Adreno drivers are ass Nvidia chips are expensive Linux on ARM is a mess Android works really well on the ODROID C2 but I wasn't exactly looking for an Android TV box.
