Why I Believe Printers Were Sent From Hell to Make Us Miserable

Heh, ironically I would have been in total agreement a few days ago, but we just bought a new printer/scanner/copier and it's fantastic. It's wirelss AND came with the usb cable, go figure! Of course it's also not the cheapest bargain basement model (for once!), and I can't argue with the ink b.s., but for once I'm totally happy with the operation of a printer.

We have one of those wireless printers at work. It's slow when you do the wireless thing. But when you plug in with a USB cord, it's super fast.
I think the price of printer ink is one of the biggest scams out there. Total suckage.

We got a new one about 2 weeks ago...same description as yours GD. It worked perfectly until a couple of days ago...now it constantly says it's out of paper, with a partially full tray, we just keep filling the paper to full and then it's happy...ugh!

I always thought my old Epson printer had a malevolent entity possessing it.

We have an all-in-one HP at work. Ever since Apple update the OS, the scanning function doesn't work. It's been 6 months...

My Epson eats ink, but otherwise works fine and dandy. Of course, now that I've said so, I will go home and it will no longer work.

Mine died a few weeks ago, due to internal injuries from the previous owner's "smacking" it whenever it wouldn't print. (A friend of my dad's who is a big idiot - one of those who would often forget to turn it on before trying to print.

)

I have a new one of the same model being delivered this week. I want to stick with this model, because I can refill the cartridges myself and save a load on ink. The manufacturer doesn't approve of refilling, but I have a "resetter" for the cartridge chips, making them brand spanking new with each refill.
