cmon now. no victim blaming.
what if i just want to print a coloring book for my kid? there are perfectly valid reason to want to print things, and it should not be as difficult/stupid as it is today.

Oh, I fully blame HP for this, but I am also just asking the question. Now that you mentioned colouring pages, I remember that I used a printer pretty heavily while my kids were home during quarantine.
For the odd time I have to print something, it’s more worth my while to just go to Staples or whatever and get it printed for me there.
The only other thing I cam remember printing in the near term has been amazon return labels.

the last printer i purchased and used was an HP lasterjet 4000. it ran for 15 years on a single cart. i replaced the pads once.
its nice to just have a machine in the back and you can pull out when needed. its just too bad my requirements do not gel with corporate profits.

Those things were amazing. They were from the golden age of HP printers. I used to service some 4000s and everything was made to be long lasting, but could be easily replaced if you needed it. They’re slow and weigh a lot (it was made of metal parts!) but rock solid printers.
