I get it that the world’s gone digital and all but my home office printer has developed a feeder fault and it’s a right old pain in the backside. I’m a fan of printing stuff off for various reasons.
- Boarding passes for the IT challenged (not naming any names)
- Lists (who doesn’t love a list?)
- Questions for zoom quizzes (so 2020 darling)
- Proof reads
- Prompt cards for presentstions
The list is quite literally endless. I had some personal cards designed for spookydaffodils and want to buy an ink stamp so I can put my house address and telephone number on some of them. Need to print the test sheet for scaling…. Damn it, you do only miss them printers when they’re gone.
I considered a newer hp laserjet to replace the old workhorse I’ve used for the past decade but there is one major issue. They have technology in them now to detect generic (low price) ink cartridges. If it’s not hp branded the printer will not work. HP claims it’s because the low quality ink can damage the printer which is absolute tripe. I’ve been using generic cartridges for years without a single issue. For that reason I’ll probably go for the HP3525 again as it’s modern enough to do the job and old enough to not have the hp cash cow technology installed.
