She bought it for work reasons.

I was not part of the printer decision.

I own a brother printer.

    Reminds me of my Uncle Kieth’s house in the 1970s. He had a color TV but the sound didn’t work, so he put an old black & white portable TV on top of it for sound. When you wanted to change the channel, you had to get up and change them both.

      It’s an old Jeff Foxworthy joke, too.

      If you have a working television set on top of a non-working television, you might be a redneck.

        Yeah, that joke hit hard in my (red)neck of the woods because it was 100% true.

        Everything is an old Jeff you might be a redneck joke. There was like 5 years where it seemed like all he did was wake up and write those jokes. I assume the well is endless.

      So he had a soundbar before soundbars were cool.

    As far as inkjets go, she didn’t do terrible. If you need color and don’t want something huge, this is a reasonable decision. But stacking it a top of the dead carcass of it’s cousin is probably some sort of robot hate crime. You better hope they aren’t telling the Seiko/Epson AI about it.

    Here we see the Epsonis Imprinterae in its natural environment, marking territory that it won from a rival to assert its dominance to any potential competitors that may be lurking nearby

    At the rate these things fail, the printer stack will be holding up the roof before the end of next year

    This reminds me so much of the Jeff Foxworthy joke about the working TV on top of the broken TV.

    I have the same and use it with Linux. I can recommend it after fleeing from Csnon’s color cardrige fashism. The epson uses refillable ink, without any electronics. You can buy 3rd party ink by design.It was designed during the chip shortage where it wasn’t profitable anymore to make defective-by-design chipped ink cardridges. Lucky us.

    Even scanning works over the network.

    Pretty sure I have that exact same Cannon printer.

    It’s garbage and really needs replacing, but I print like 2 pages a year.

      I have a Canon PIXMA (got it for free) and it’s fucking garbage, but if you only need to print like 5 things a year it’s hard to justify getting a new one. Despite all that we probably already spent $100s in ink.

        The most frustrating thing is, every year when you go to print those 5 pages, it’s out of ink

          I know, it’s such a scam. I think those ink cartridges have a timer in addition to just checking the ink level.

          I think one of these days the thing will enrage me so much I’ll just instant buy a Brother.
