Annoying printers
Why is it, that in the 21st century, printers never do what you tell them to? They forget you want landscape, they forget the number of copies, they refuse to cancel a job you've sent, they try to use colour ink for a black and white image and take 5 times longer, they can't feed a piece of paper without jamming it, the nozzles clog up every five minutes, the ink cartridges are stupidly small, and they **** about for ten minutes doing god knows what, spinning the roller and moving the cartridge back and forth for no reason before they get to work!

Because they all have their own mind and can do whatever they want to do. Usage of printers is diminishing by the day because there is no need to print things these days. You actually believe in the paperless society? It doesn't exist. It's like our resident thief by the name of Johnson or Chris or WhetherMan who can steal any applications they want but corporations can only sue them if they can find them; They can't hire a hitman to finish them off once and for all. The "MeToo" movement is destroying good powerful man because they can do whatever they want; This woman called Christine Blasey Ford made millions by accusing somebody who may or may not have done anything to her. She claims to be a professor but with a voice like that, I doubt if her students can learn anything from her. she is a bore as far as I'm concerned. she was a good actor I'll have to say that but terrible voice for an actor. You seem to have wondered off to something nothing to do with printing. |

Turn it on and print and it takes 3 minutes to print page 1. Page 2 is seconds, etc. Not sure about the black and white and the use of color inks. Pretty sure my driver, or the user interface, remembers settings. I do know the one I'm interested in, duplex, is usually always set. I get the XL tanks and they seem to have a good amount of ink. But they're inkjets, and consumer products, they aren't meant for high production. Al |

I don't know anyone who hasn't been annoyed 50% of the time they use their printer. settings are saved between jobs, Well they try to. Then you get stupid things like 100 copies of document x means you must want 100 copies of document y. And cancelling a job is almost impossible, you have to turn off the printer, tell the computer to cancel it, then for some reason wait 5 minutes?! ink use is whatever the user chooses, Really? So I can just insert a sensible sized tank into my inkjet can I? there is no delay in printing, and paper jams are *very* rare, usually the fault of improperly loading the tray. All printers are **** at loading paper, mind you it's pretty hard to pick up one sheet with your fingers without licking them. |

I'm not printing 1000s of sheets, just 30 at a time. 13ml in a cartridge? WTF? |

I don't need a cartoon to tell me paper is going into the printer, I can ****ing see it for myself! Another thing mine does is warn me with a dialog box that the printer is "not ready to print" - i.e. I've turned it off as I'm finished with it! |
