Comment on HP exec says quiet part out loud when it comes to locking in print customers

My 1996 Lexmark BW compact laser printer just died.

1996…nearly 30 years.

I can probably fix it, just keeps saying paper jam. When I’m bored I’ll open it up.

Oh, and it’s a centronix connector, ha!

My guess some paper got jammed. You have to unjam it.

I bet there’s still CUPS support for it, you can probably print to it via CUPS

  Today in my office kitchen I saw ‘CUPS’ sticker on a drawer and was like ‘who prints stuff in a kitchen’? I took me 3 seconds to realize.

  There is.
  
  It’s been on a Windows box for years with a $9.99 centronix-to-USB cable
