and because i’m a lazy ass i didn’t read the specs but just read the search engine result.

I also assumed that because 6 years ago i bought a $50 hp envy and it had wifi, this much expensive one is also going to have it

Result: that $250 printer doesn’t actually have wifi

    Honestly why buy a printer? Consumer grade sucks and printing is typically .10 a page

      1. if I didn’t have a printer I would need a standalone scanner, which costs almost the same amount

      2. Driving to Staples to print a $0.10 page wastes $50 worth of time and gas

      A cheap printer pays for itself very quickly.

        I guess it depends where your printers are.The library is a mile from me and cost .1. My work also has free printing.

        I don’t think it’s worth it in how quickly ink dried out. Those higher tier ones that print thousands per cartridge are worth it but expensive.

      I specifically bought this to print photos, ink is not ridiculously expensive like other models, is like $150 per liter, which is still high considering that’s colored water, but not the usual $5000 per liter.
