    Most multi-function printers suck, but HPs are the worst.

    I’ve taken a couple up to an abandoned reservoir and blew them to pieces with a .12 gauge.

      I, too, follow the Office Space HP printer retirement plan. Shot more than a few out in the desert over the years. Cathartic.

        I dunno, is it really that therapeutic when you’re shooting it?

        I just don’t know if it really matches the joy of a crowbar

          Less so, but we do usually smash it up pretty good at the end before recycling what’s left.

            I’ll Keep that in mind for the next time I need to dispose of one.

            I’ve always enjoyed the idea of fireworks…… Maybe one day.

    HP is the worst of them all. Disabling the whole multimachine because some random unidentified part no longer works is bust forcing people to replace otherwise functioning machines. I had a printer that support said could not be fixed, bit I wanted to keep using the scanner - not possible. Just buy a new one they said

    Epson Ecotank happy as a pig in shit user here. Bought it 5 years ago, still going strong. No bullshit cartridges just fill the tanks with ink and off it goes. Yes you don’t a little more for the printer but it pays off the first refill.

      How are they for rare usage? My last ink spewer dried up after each print because I had weeks between them. Switched to monochrome laser years ago but it’s getting old and it decides to print 20 pages of garbage on every fourth print or so.
