I haven't had a printer in maybe a decade. No, more than that. Like fifteen years.

I had to get one during covid lockdown since I wasn't going to the office and staples messed up my jobs most of the time (and it wasn't cheap). I got a laser all-in-one and got knock off toner from Amazon and it works great and I got it for less than $90

I have a printer, actually. I use it pretty often, too. No internet connected, while the Canon 4200 series do have wifi capability I generally stick to the USB cable.

In a pinch I would go to a library or I would even visit a print shop for more exotic prints.

I just go to a print/copy store. Pay up, be done with it.

Personally, I like not needing to dedicate the space to a printer. The rare times I need to print something, I'll just go to a store with a print shop like staples. Over the last 8 years, I've spent less than $10 on all of my printing needs, which is still way cheaper than even the most cost-effective, least-HP printer out there.

If this is me in several years, I think my version will be “my precious pre-enshittification brother laser is so old they stopped making third party toner carts for it” or probably more likely something like “how do we have a working plugged-in printer on wifi that we can’t find? Did we build a wall in front of it? How long was it sitting in the corner of that spare room?”

Last year I bought an old second-hand Brother laser printer for $20, with 60% ink and 75% on the drum. Works like a charm.

i had to print 2 whole pages a few years ago, and gone to a office supply store. told them i would like to pay for it by card...cashier told me if i use the card, the banking transaction cost more than printing two a4 papers, so long story short it was free.

these stores usually have a printer so expensive i wouldnt be able to pay for it with all my organs, but its cheaper to print there then having a printer at home.

as for work, i dont like the looks people give me when i print there. i like to keep my private life out of the office, i recommend the same. if you want to print out a long ass book however, and nobody cares at work, go ahead.

I have a printer, and know where the power cord is! I even have it paired to my wifi and use it to scan stuff. Don't ask me to print anything, I can't afford the ink.

Printers are scams.....the end

Picked one for free two years ago, works perfect, I buy pirated cartridges for like, 30$ per entire set, evep prints high quality photos...

I love copiers

The hardest part about returns is driving to the local library to print out the return label for 25 cents.

Much less trouble than owning a printer!!

I have two ten year old non color hp laser printers. I bought them at a surplus sales along with two new toners. So far I'm still on the first printer. They are old enough that they have no drm. The work with everything and I expect them to outlast me. I print about ten to twenty pages a year.
