Where the hell to do people print documents if they don't have a printer? #ihateprinters

Oh and to make the day even better! I get this all torn apart, the fuser finally out, and the damn new fuser in broken. 😡

You have 1 job, printer. 1 job. And you can't even do that

Okay, I think it’s past time for #eink displays to come down in price so we can finally get a #GMscreen that can be updated and customised, but doesn’t require me to own a goddamn printer that is asking to be smashed to pieces right fucking now! #ttrpg #ihateprinters

Busy day pen plotting, wrangling a *nightmarish* sublimation printer firmware update procedure #IHatePrinters - and chatting to visitors at #WimbledonArtFair

We changed up the studio layout so that I wasn't tucked behind the door, and I felt a lot more energetic interacting with folks, as a result! Also, made my first small sale of a pen plotted piece 💚

RANT! I have a bunch of Blank Post Cards from the Post office. I wanted to print on the post card! 3.5 by 5.5 is a standard size. You would think that my printer would allow 3.5 by 5.5. NO! 3.5 by 5.0. NOT by 5.5. #IHatePrinters c.f. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/07/14/printers-must-die/
We must end the tyranny of printers in American life

Printers are awful, and they're not going to change. Let's work together to print less and slowly kill off printers for good.

Ordered a new print head. Requires firmware update. Updater requires USB. USB is broken on the printer. Try to connect to the webserver. Almost blank page. Open up internet explorer. Tells me stuff is blocked. Unblock everything. Java is required. Load Java. Java tells me it is blocked because modules are not trusted... Downgrading jre because untrusted modules can not longer be trusted temporarily #IHatePrinters
