    They think they don’t have a choice. I’ve talked to people who use a printer maybe once a year for 3 pages but have convinced themselves they must have a printer in their home ready to go for the one time they’ll maybe need to print something out.

    Your local library has a printer you can use. Mine lets me print 10 pages per day for free. I’d rather go to the Library than deal with HP’s bullshit, no question!

      Anyone with a brain that prints a few pages a year has a Brother laser though. Mine just sits gathering dust then goes…

      Nobody wants to waste time and gas money going to the library to print a few pages. Our library also charges to print. We do about 20-30 pages a month at home and it costs us about $50 year for ink and paper. It’s worth it for the convenience.

        To each their own. I’m less than a mile from my library so it’s an easy choice. I’m also not in school and that seems to be the biggest use amongst my friend group.

      And when they print that one page at home per year they have to go buy a new printer anyway because the 1/3rd filled carts that come in the HP spray bottle dried up or pissed itself into the “cleaning cycle” when they installed it.
