Like seriously, I'm not a prophet, but a #Linux #Sysadmin but when I tell people "#Inkjet #printers are a scam!" it's fucking grounded in reality.

  • The only reason I still have a shitty #Deskjet6122 is because that fucker refuses to die!...

Same goes for a shitty #OfficeJet #MFP who's sole purpose is to to be a #Scanner...

So yeah, espechally for #Printing, just get yourself a #refurbished #Xerox #WorkCentre or something cuz #Toner can't dry out and it'll be cheaper no matter if you print one page per year or 1.000 in a single day!

Again and not to belabor the point, BRO.

Replace the word Printer with the word Pen and come at me with that nonsense again.

The IP you "build in the inks" :nkoinhaleorexhale: is presumably not built into the unlicensed cartridge's inks.

Else you'd have won a patent infringement and shut them down legally, instead of artificially through technological artifice.
All the while lying to your customers and denying them the usage of their property

Returned to my #inkjet refilling task from before lunch.

With a brief tweak all the colours are in play again, and test prints are good.

The cartridges on this newish printer (Canon) are happier with refill hole left open, it appears.

Anyway that's done and my hands have fewer ink stains than usual. :)
