They have to print the invisible printer identification dots somehow.
huh
Printers print very small dots on the sheet of paper you print so it canbe identified. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Identification_Code
And that isn’t even getting into their drivers and software. Foolish me bought a printer with a scanner and thought I’d be able to just install one little piece of software and be able to print and scan. How silly of me to forget that I to search Google to find instructions that weren’t provided by HP, and download an application that the printer’s instructions did not tell me to install, in order to get the it working.
I almost want this printer to die just so I can never own an HP printer again in my life.
doesn’t help that printer ink is one of the most expensive liquids in the world and the whole business model of printer companies is based on selling overpriced ink, so much so that they sell printers at a loss and then try to block out third party cartridges
Who needs color anyway? A black laser printer is the way to go :)
This is how printers get introduced to VERY FAST crowbars.
Get a laserjet.
Whenever these plastic fucking pieces of shit misbehave, I get interested in thermal depolymerization again. I’d like to start removing microplastics from our environment, slow as it takes. I need to build an electric kiln and some way to keep the decomposition chamber inside oxygen-free…
my parent bought a HP deskjet printer for us, but the ink is so expensive that any picture needs be small that the ink don’t run out as quickly. and the software is garbage too.
