@frameworkcomputer #WhatsMissing: An #OpenSource #Printer Design that can do if not #LED / "#Laser" at least #Inkjet with COTS gylcol-based #ink that doesn't dry up.

After all, there are tons of #OpenSourced #3Dprinters on the market, so doing #2Dprinter shoudln't be that hard...

All it needs to to is spit #PDF|s on paper!

The only reason I still use my #Deskjet6122 is because it refuses to die, it works flawless on #Linux and both ink and 3rd party cartridges are so cheap, it's not worth biting the bullet and buy a chonky Xerox multifunction lazer because it would've to also replace the #OfficejetJ4150 that I still use for scanning...

@beandev Why do people even bother with this shit?

There's literally no good reason to own an #inkjet - regardless if one prints one or one million pages a year!

The only reason I've not retired my #DeskJet6122 in lieu of a used & refurbished #XeroxWorkCentre6515 is because my DeskJet refuses to die and it's cartridges refuse to run out...

Because they used #Glycol-based #Ink instead of #Water-based ink that tends to crust up the printer heads.

Also they don't have any #DRM!

@jwildeboer Personally I installed #Xerox #WorkCentre multifunction lasers everywhere and I still rock my #Deskjet6122 because it wasn't #Enshittified yet and it refuses to die to this day...

#UseLonger > #BuyNew !

@jwildeboer Personally I still have a #DeskJet6122 to this day and it refuses to die or have issues.

I'm likely gonna get myself some used / refurbished #Xerox #WorkCentre once it will die...

@pinguino depends on the printer.

My two-decade old #Deskjet6122 just works, but for the general rule of thumb, only #Inkjet suck ass!
