    My 1996 Lexmark BW compact laser printer just died.

    1996…nearly 30 years.

    I can probably fix it, just keeps saying paper jam. When I’m bored I’ll open it up.

    Oh, and it’s a centronix connector, ha!

      I bet there’s still CUPS support for it, you can probably print to it via CUPS

        Today in my office kitchen I saw ‘CUPS’ sticker on a drawer and was like ‘who prints stuff in a kitchen’? I took me 3 seconds to realize.
