XoomFloppy als USB-Kabel
Die ZoomFloppy war mir immer viel zu groß. Daher habe ich in der Vergangenheit einige Projekte gestartet, um das Ganze auf eine wesentlich kleinere Größe zu reduzieren.
Warum überhaupt ein externes Gerät verwenden, wenn das Diskettenlaufwerk dire…

we're looking for recommendations for a continuous feed printer! boosts appreciated 
we're looking at setting up a simple home service where we can text/email the service and it prints the contents. thinking maybe like a receipt printer? preferable a smaller paper roll like that rather than letter sized. receipt quality is "good enough", though the ability to do slightly finer detail is a plus as well. don't mind buying used at all either. older might even be better
as for why, various disabilities in our home make certain types of tasks and lists *much* easier to manage when there's a hard copy of the item rather than something that disappears into the digital world.

@waldoj well, all #Printers are shit.
Time for the #Community to #OpenSource a #Printer already.
Brother is denying the reports of firmware upgrades blocking third-party inks; Ars Technica is skeptical of their denials.

Again, if you're a consumer or a small business, I would not buy any #printer from this point forward as I have said for years now. There's no benefit.
On the Brother printer "heel turn" report:
To be real, they have been anti consumer for years now so this is nothing new.

#printer question to you wonderful persons
At my job we have a centralized printerserver.
That spits out papers when some jobs are done
These copies don't need to be in paper format
I want to make a machine that impersonates a printer and saves a txt or pdf copy.
And no, i cant make changes to the server
No no no
