    And I’m over here, with a laser printer, laughing at everyone’s “printer not working” issues. Hasn’t let me down ever and is a speed demon.

      And I’m over here, with a laser printer with 20 year old HP inkjet printer, laughing at everyone’s “printer not working” issues. Hasn’t let me down ever and is a speed demon. but the high-DPI setting takes 20 minutes per A4 page to create near-laser quality.

      Laser printers are definitely the way to go, but still not 100% without problems. Every once in a while I get some bullshit messages about my magenta toner not being compatible, but unplugging it for a minute seems to fix it.

            Inkjet sucks when you use it for anything other than regular work. Most people need to print out a few pages each month, maybe a package label for a courier or sth. Inkjets tend to dry out and stop working if you use them that way

              There’s good inkjets. They cost over $500, sometimes over $1000. They exist and serve a niche.
