    What’s ridiculous is the fuckin mugs that buy this shit. The same mugs that are buying software by subscriptions, they’re actually 50% of the problem

      They think they don’t have a choice. I’ve talked to people who use a printer maybe once a year for 3 pages but have convinced themselves they must have a printer in their home ready to go for the one time they’ll maybe need to print something out.

      Your local library has a printer you can use. Mine lets me print 10 pages per day for free. I’d rather go to the Library than deal with HP’s bullshit, no question!

        Anyone with a brain that prints a few pages a year has a Brother laser though. Mine just sits gathering dust then goes…

        Nobody wants to waste time and gas money going to the library to print a few pages. Our library also charges to print. We do about 20-30 pages a month at home and it costs us about $50 year for ink and paper. It’s worth it for the convenience.

          To each their own. I’m less than a mile from my library so it’s an easy choice. I’m also not in school and that seems to be the biggest use amongst my friend group.
