Printers i swear all of them hate me. I love it, but just cant deal with printers.
Brother, have I got a solution for you!
Happy cake day.
My HP laserjet 1320n is over 20 years old. Every 6-8 months I have something to print and it does it like a champ. I can even print to it from my phone. Idk the last time I put toner on it.
With as cheap as pen plotters have gotten, I'm surprised no one has come up with a reasonably small printer looking one for normal sized paper that functions like an actual printer. the ones you can get need special plugins and vector graphics to plot. There used to be many models several decades ago, and they can still be found and modified to use normal pens, but that's kind of a driver nightmare. I feel like we're past the point where people need to be able to print many pages relatively quickly, and I'd rather have a printer that took a while to print but I knew that it would work every single time.
