@mshelton or better: Look at your #IT #Refurbisher...

Chances are they have a ton of cheap #Lazer multifunction units for less than a full pack of #Ink needed to scan (!!!) with those shitty #Inkjet machines.

Also don't just ditch #hp for printers, but also #PCs and #Laptops, because their #ProBook series of machines do #VendorLocking of #RAM and will refuse to boot without manually confirming by pressing F1 on the devices' keyboard every single bootup (!!!), bricking #PXE-Boot & #WakeOnLAN / #WoL in the process just to #FUD #customers and #IntependentRepair service providers!

The problem is in #IT that #WhatWeAllowIsWhatWillContinue and we allowed Corporations like #Apple to sprearhead the #Enshittification with #GluedInBatteries, #SolderedDownRAM, #SolderedDownSSDs and #AntiRepairDesign!

The only winning move is to refuse to buy such shit!!

Get a @frameworkcomputer and a @fairphone / #Fairphone if #BuyUsed & #UseLonger isn't an option, because in #capitalism, your reciept is your vote - EVERY SINGLE TIME!

#WhatYouAllowIsWhatWillContinue

@[email protected] #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... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHX6tHdQGiQ #ItAintBrokeDontReplaceIt #UseLonger #Printers #2Dprinting #Printing #RightToRepair #Reuse
