if there is one technology the entire fucking world cant get together its a damn computer printer… i have yet to own one that has worked for 6 months straight let alone 1 year… and i barely ever do printing, and maybe have tried 1 ‘photo’ quality page per printer that ive owned… if it isnt the cartridges always being worthless or running out after 10 pages even though they are still like half full… its the damn tracks that pull the paper through all fucking sideways n shit… or then when the printer just doesnt even do anything anymore… omfg somebody make a printer that works! for the love of god! ---

lexmark and epson have pretty good quality, but their ink is expensive and they use a lot. hp tends to “sip” ink, or at least from what ive noticed. i’d look at something under $100. then if it craps out, o well ur not out that much. ---

> [@funkylemons](#): > > snip… and i barely ever do printing… There’s your problem. Any inkjet printer needs to be used on a regular basis. The ink dries up and the rollers collect dust, hence the feed problems and the shitting image quality. But yes, I hate just about any for of printer there is, whether their high volume laser printers or home use inkjets. They usually end up being a pain in the ass one way or another. “PC Load Letter??? What the FUCK does that mean?” ---

Any HP Laserjet 2200, 2300 or 2400 series are pretty much flawless. DO NOT buy any piece of shit with vertical paper loading. The paper should go in a tray that slides into and under the printer. The vertical loading HP’s are pieces of shit too. If the printer has a horizontal tray tha sticks out and so does the paper then it the printer belongs in the fucking dumpster too. ---
