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

    Don’t worry, commercial printers are equally bad but in a different way.

    Every vendor feels the need to inject their own special secret sauce into the drivers instead of making a tool that Just Works.

      Brother printers to the rescue. I think they are still untainted by crap bloatware and just do the thing.

      Yeah, there is no true rage like trying to get a Xante to work properly. “YOU HAD NO PROBLEMS 2 HOURS AGO WHEN I FED YOU 2,000 #10 ENVELOPES! WHY WON’T YOU PRINT THIS LETTERHEAD!”

      Or my Canon 8000 that has decided it doesn’t want to print double sided on satin paper anymore. Or that is will staple a booklet, but only if i have the paper size down as 12x9 portrait instead of 9x12 landscape.
