HP wants you to pay up to $36/month to rent a printer that it monitors::“Never own a printer again.”

    I’m running a black & white wired Brother printer through a CUPS relay & I couldn’t be happier without HP’s bullshit

        I bought an old simple HP LaserJet like 4 years ago, it’s probably the worst printer I’ve ever used and that includes the crappy bubblejet printer we had as a kid. Shit you not, I pretty much need to hand feed the thing, it almost always fails to grab a sheet out of the tray and it’s usually crooked when it does.

        Wish I hadn’t given my brother printer to my parents when I graduated honestly, was solid af. It’d be 16 years old now but still going strong.

            My MiL has this ancient deeply yellowed office grade HP laser printer she dug out as her document printer, it’s a tank and runs like a dream. Found that driver wise it seems to be easier to setup in Linux than windows, I keep meaning to setup a print server for her with an old pi I have…

            That may actually be one of the weirdest issues I’ve ever heard of, were you ever able to figure out why it would only give you 2.5 pages?
