Comment on Why I Believe Printers Were Sent From Hell To Make Us Miserable - The Oatmeal

We’d have quality printers if it was legal to make an open source one. Unfortunately, every printer is legally required to be a snitch and uniquely fingerprint everything it prints with a discreet dot matrix so the feds can track you down if you print something illegal.

So now, the only companies that can make and sell printers are those capable of and willing to maintain a database of all the printers they sell and the fingerprint they add to all prints.

Your printer is absolute shit because it’s a snitch.
