The appliance that elicits anger and frustrated at it’s mere sight. The treacherous device that never worked right.

    You need to look into something thoroughly classic, like an HP 4050DTN. I’ve had mine since 1999 and it’s lasted me through two degrees with only 3 toner cartridges. I get the ones that can do 20,000 sheets at 5% coverage. And while yes, other parts like the fuser are now clamouring for replacement, to date the only things I have ever done are replace the toner cartridges and upgrade the JetDirect module to keep pace with my wired network.

    Not bad for a printer that’s a quarter century old.

    Edit: JFC I feel old now.
