Comment on "You should probably just throw it away"

Also, the new hardware thing is not really true anymore. Most things are supported from the get-go, or at least within a few weeks

I also never had a problem. Neither under windows nor under linux. The problem usually occurs within the printer. The more urgently you need to print a document, the more likely your printer is gonna jam. I suspect those things are so crappy in order to keep IT support companies afloat.

This really is some kind of law of the universe.
