Ink drying up is intentional btw. My old HP inkjet does not have that problem and it takes refills, prints black and white without needing color ink, does not have an internet connection, require a subscription or come with any other bs. We perfected inkjet printers 20 years ago and then started the enshittification process.
Comment on (Laser) Printer go brrrr

Laser printers are the best. You sacrifice the quality of dense pictures, but gain incomparable speed and reliability. It’s especially worth it if you print less often, because the ink dries up if you don’t print every once in a while and you end up buying new ink even though the cartridge is full, but the toner just sits there indefinitely.

you forgot the best part, the papers are all nice and warm

My home office used to be extremely cold in the mornings, somewhat humid. And printer lives by the window. Meaning if I printed in the morning as the sun rose, I could see just a bit of steam coming off the page at the rollers as it was printing. Along with the warmth of the paper, and a cup of coffee… Nirvana.

I’ve been in the color laser gang since 2006 when they started to go under $500

I have a HL3170CDW color laser. It was on sale for under $200 at the time.

I’m normally the one in my house trying to get rid of things, but keep those (and/or send them to me, lol).
