Framework 
Every day, spiraling inexorably closer to a Framework Printer.

@paco @frameworkcomputer 9 times out of 10 its a sensor that is dirty or stuck. I use to do printer repairs for HP, Lexmark, and Dell. If there is a Hell it will be doing printer repairs 24/7/365. I'm so happy to be out of that job 12+ years ago.

You ever work on the original LaserJet/LaserWriter? [shudders]

Mike Johnston@frameworkcomputer YES! Honestly printers that work perfectly good have rollers that start to slip if they are dirty or dried out and I would love to be able to just replace that one part so paper gets pulled through the printer the way it was intended!! Moving parts will always need service and it's sad most printers are cheaper to throw away.
ashley@frameworkcomputer ah yes
an hp product functioning as designed

Evan ๐บ๐ฆ@frameworkcomputer my 15-year-old Brother laserjet keeps on trucking
BSDTV@frameworkcomputer @claudiom if you can source those super reliable Canon innards that *all the printers* use and strip away the crapification, you are well within the borders of " take my money!!!" country.

Nicolas Christener@frameworkcomputer please, do it!
this avali will trap ur plasma@frameworkcomputer an hp printer with a screen on it. on the screen, there's an error for a paper jam; "Paper is jammed inside the printer. Open the rear door to clear any jammed paper. Event Code: 13.08.14"
Julian David Murray@zaki @frameworkcomputer yeah I also don't quite understand why that's a reason for another printer in this hell ยฏโ \โ _โ (โ ใโ )โ _โ /โ ยฏ
Pteryx the Puzzle Secretary@frameworkcomputer Do you have plans for dealing with the fact that the publishing industry feels very, *very* threatened by the existence of printers? I understand that to sit at the root of a lot of the evils of the printer industry.
Drekken Pownz@frameworkcomputer scratch your own itch
@frameworkcomputer I've waited for a descent printer about a decade now. So please, make it happen.
James Bilsbrough@frameworkcomputer โPC Load letter.... what the f**k does that meanโ

@frameworkcomputer history... it's just printers all the way down ^^
KeksKopf@frameworkcomputer but do you have a printer framework for your franework printer?
tecleandor@frameworkcomputer paper jam on toast
Fabos (not an OS)@frameworkcomputer framework printer. when?
Jean Helou โจ๏ธ@frameworkcomputer but framework printers already exist under the brother brand ...
TygeryderGo for it!
Maven 
@frameworkcomputer idc how expensive it is, if y'all make a modular foss printer i WILL buy it. the printer market sucks rn.
Softwarewolf@frameworkcomputer PC Load Letter?
The fuck does that mean?
Manuel@frameworkcomputer @mxk please do it. Iโd buy it in an instant. Now I need to go and cheer my dying Canon printer on to please just spit out this one last page pleaseโฆ oh god why another weird cleaning runโฆ why is there a blank page between the printed onesโฆ why did the last page only got printed halfโฆ what is happening!?
Salem's Lot@frameworkcomputer Take. My. Money.

@frameworkcomputer PLEASE SAVE US! YOU ARE OUR ONLY HOPE!
Aron Gergely@frameworkcomputer yes please, although a laser printer from Brother comes pretty close (the first printer I do not hate)

@frameworkcomputer itโs truly amazing how printers have been one of the most ubiquitous pieces of office hardware, yet theyโre so utterly awful that youโd swear theyโre machines built in the depths of hell that got kicked to the mortal plane because the local lords of hell feared its evil
@frameworkcomputer do iiiit. Bring light to the dark side.

segv11@frameworkcomputer I'd promote a good small or medium office laser printer/scanner with serviceable parts and no-DRM firmware to all my clients. Brother is barely tolerable and all too disposable, so how are they the best for under $1,000?

I've genuinely given up on the entire concept of paper at this point

Though I have to admit, the few times I had to print due to forces beyond my control, the family HP SmartTank has been doing pretty well.
Despite what HP says in the manual, the USB port works, and you don't need their proprietary app if you want to print over the network. Official ink is even priced normally.
Tisha Tiger / Neliger@frameworkcomputer Yes, please ๐

I was just thinking about when you talked about this last night. It was in relation to a Conan O'Brian joke. When U2's "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" came out, he joked that this was a trend for album titles, and the last joke one was R Kelly's "How to Replace an Ink Cartridge in a Lexmark X32 Inkjet Printer."
Also, I own a 15 year old HP printer that has had its driver scrubbed from the internet and I got some second-hand bootleg to run it. Meanwhile my Linux machine was plug and play.
Honestly? I get that the printer industry is becoming more and more niche but I think part of that is people are sick of dealing with #HP #Lexmark #Dell BS when it comes to figuring out how they can wring more money out of people by putting DRM in carts and making the repair process unnecessarily complex. I did HP, Lexmark, and Dell printer repairs and to replace some parts on those systems legit required HOURS just to get to that part as it is all nested crap.
If your engineers could take a crack at decreasing the complexity to repair it would go a long way towards getting people to actually be interested in printers again.
­@frameworkcomputer framework staff shouldn't take any offers of a free voyage or dinner party etc from printer companies after making this post
Colin@frameworkcomputer having been a printer/copier tech and familiar with their inner workings servicing a wide range of models, I know exactly what is great / what to be looked for in which models. I long ago composed a list of what would be needed to make the best printer ever. It will cost $ but thatโs the price to pay for not screwing over the customer and providing a long life and fully serviceable experience.
Noxy ๐พ๐ณ๏ธโ๐@colinstu can you recommend a basic monochrome laser that works easily with linux/cups without fucking around with manual driver install scripts? and without toner subscription or DRM ideally? for very very infrequent printing
@noxypaws what's the budget? Any need for advanced features like duplex printing, multiple paper trays, network printing (wired, wireless, bullshit like AirPrint, etc), etc?
'basic' is telling me 'no' but I don't want to assume either.
@colinstu Ethernet port definitely yes. Single tray for regular 8.5x11. Full duplex nice to have but not important. No need for printing from smartphones.

My printer works fine for now. But that is something I would hope to see. Some sort of "open source" printer.

@frameworkcomputer HOLY. DO IT. DO IT PLEASE!
@frameworkcomputer I bet if you pay them a subscription the paper jam will magically disappear.
Till Kamppeter@jordan_kendrick @frameworkcomputer With all the madnesses HP has done one can easily imagine that ...

Caroline:heart_bi:@frameworkcomputer Please! Iโm begging you. 
Light Owl โธ๏ธ@frameworkcomputer If your printer actually works reliably in Linux, I'll likely utter the phrase "Enough speech; accept my money."
@frameworkcomputer doooooo itttttt.....
@frameworkcomputer Ill only consider buying it if it comes with laser, wifi, bluetooth, nfc, smart AI features, facial recognition, blockchain technology, custom phone app with ink ads and weekly feature updates.
