    Also, when buying ink or toner, one should always look if there are offers on Craigslist/Kleinanzeigen/Leboncoin etc.: They can be very cheap, since the situation is usually that a printer has broken down and folks have no use at all anymore for that ink.

      Here we go again… The massive group discussion about printers and I’m like, “Who the fuck uses printers post-2014?!”

      Always twists my brain so hard. I see none of you in the wild; you’re like rare Pokemon. But dangle a morsel of printer discourse and suddenly half the internet is printer bros .

      It’s so perplexing. It’s one of the universes many strange phenomena.

        I still do print things like job applications, train tickets (I refuse to use most phone apps, thanks for the spying), recovery keys, important documents i need to proof-read, street plans and so on. I find it far easier to spot typos in high-quality print.

        Some applications could be done with a label printer, but there are many areas where a b/w laser printer is the best option.

        Well, I do things, so I need a printer. I don’t have time to wait to get somewhere to print.

          Because other people do have different ways of work, needs and preferences from you?

          Also, there is no general replacement for having a signature on paper for many processes. Using emails without strong signatures is just going to cause significant problems.
