Just when you think you finally found one that doesn't give you problems, it spits some BS error message that can't be troubleshooted despite going 20 pages deep in a google search. Can we please get Elon working on one?

Office copy machine. All the printer error messages along with paper jams, toner explosions and more. Next question.

I don’t think people appreciate how prophetic Office Space was.


ETA: Damn it Rummel.

You know, I’ve never really thought about it, but you make an excellent point.

When you’re on TV and your robotic limb goes to the default setting can be tough on the rep...

I loathe printers with a white hot burning passion.



Although I have to admit, the old Laserjet 4 was a goddamn tank. That was before HP got the bright idea to screw around and make them shitty. Thanks Carly.

Don’t forget the extortionately expensive cost of ink

The large office ones that also do copying, faxing, and scanning have been mostly fine in my experience.

Home printers are absolute junk though.

I upgraded routers a few weeks ago and the Wireless on my Samsung printer is completely fricked. I've spent hours installing drivers, wiping drivers, plugging cables, removing cables, and sometimes the printer now lists itself with 4 separate names,none of which can ever be found.

I considered throwing it away this weekend.

This Cox Contour thing is crap. After three days I’m ready to throw it in the trash can and light it on fire.

In my 20+ year history of the owning printers, I’ve never had one I’ve been happy with.

The most dependable was the 1st I owned: a dot matrix with the old tractor feed paper.

This little guy might be the best piece of tech I've ever owned. Purchased him back in 2004 so I could play Mario Kart DS over wifi. I used this sucker for a decade and it would probably still run today. Amazon reviews seem to agree.

I have only once had a printer that consistently worked, but my college roommate ruined it by loading loose leaf paper in it to print something at the last minute before class. The idiot didn’t see the spare pack of printer paper right above the machine. The paper jam caused by the looseleaf could never be cleared.
