Sad to hear Louis is having family issues

I rarely use a printer now that my kids are in college. When it dies, I had a choice between laser printer, Brother inkjet, or none. “None” is now my first choice

That's what we did.

For the few pages we need to print, I can use the machine at the library for $0.10/page.

Now i had to put on the in-ears, hook up to phone to.... listen to a guy talking. -_-

Short summary: after he got a firmware update, the MFC 3750 of Louis Rossman prints in worse quality with aftermarket ink.

Framework printer.

Make it happen.

Not saying they couldn't/shouldn't but printers are a nightmare hellscape and it's a miracle, mostly of HP's marketing department, that they're a household object.

dude I would pay gold for that

Brother sucks now!?

Truly, this is the canary in the coal mine moment.

It's just capitalism. Don't make it more then what it is.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 0 points 1 hour ago

I don't think I'm making it more than it is. Just can't believe the God-damned Russians got to Brother, too.

I have a Canon color laser printer which works pretty well and doesn’t pull any of this shit. They’re probably the last one standing now.

I used to work for canon as a service tech. They are a wildly scummy company that routinely goes out of their way to fuck over their employees and customers.

Not sure if I got the update yet, but I'm banning my printer from accessing the internet right now.
