When you break open a ream of paper and it's so stiff it takes you forever to work it out and fluff it up with air so that it fans smoothly in the paper tray, that's what my body feels like all the time: an old stiff ream of paper.

Ok, looks like I do need to buy a new #printer, I am no longer able to keep the old one hobbling along. Of course I have read the horror stories about enshittification and DRM, including finally Brother. Please advise me on the least horrible one I can buy.
—home office, low volume
—color
—current or recent production
—easy to get new inks
—avoiding AI, dark patterns, “ecosystems”, cloud, and other shit traps.

The BLACK LIVES MATTER should fade in, over a long time.
