    I thought the joke here was that even when they’re not locked your average inkjet printer is a hot pile of garbage machinery that works only when the planets align and you’ve sacrificed 3 goats and a your firstborn.

    Meanwhile laster jet printers work most of the time except when they don’t.

    Edit: one time I wanted to buy more ink for my inkjet and there was a brand new inkjet printer that came with ink that was less expensive than a new cartridge. (Of the same size)

    The new printer was $30 and worked just as poorly as my $150 inkjet.

    I’ve done printer maintenance for years among other things and inkjets are literally designed and manufactured in the deepest layer of hell.

      I looked into laser printers but they didn’t meet my requirement of wanting to print photos

      Brother has started putting drm in their laser printers and I’m not aware of a replacement brand for them yet
