Why is “jup” in German/Dutch/Swedish/Danish spelling?

Are you an undercover German?

That guy is too smart, he’d better he careful. He’ll be found dead at his desk after mysteriously choking on an HP cyan cartridge.

They wouldn’t be so obvious.

They would just slowly replace all his blood with HP 952XL Magenta

That’s an expensive way to kill someone. It’d probably be cheaper to pay for a hitman at the point.

I did something similiar, I named all the printers with an esoteric naming scheme based on the OU and location, but completely indecipherable, and GPO reset the default printer every morning. That way the print was always released to a random printer that the user chose in utter bewilderment and confusion, so there was no chance any particular printer would see enough use that I’d have to change the toner in this decade.

Worked great.

Welcome to the world of business printing done right. A rare sight these days.

imho, the new printers are pretty good. Like ever since the companies stopped the inkjet fiasco and switched over to the inktank thing, its been really smooth.

My experience with the Epson ecotank is pretty good.

HP is still the worst, though.

The only difference between HP and a 1930’s Italian mob protection racket is they don’t break your kneecaps yet

Yeah, even their inktanks are unusable.

Software like papercut is the best.

My HP laser printer is amazing, no drivers needed, lasts long on ink, connects to everything, I love it.

Sure it doesn’t have colour printing, nor scanning, not Bluetooth. But the thing just works every single time!

Hello, printer driver developer here. I hate you all

Man, I just love the way you guys ignore basic exception handling, insist on using undocumented APIs, exclusively hook into system resources, fail to address even the most fundamental of good memory management practises and then demand your software runs as an unprotected kernel-level driver.

It’s fucking great.

Hey, you can blame my senior who did most of it and left this mess to me when he quit. I just pray everyday that nothing breaks since we don’t even have internal documentation for this code and almost no comments whatsoever :)

I love my job :D

I couldn’t convince my dad to get a Brother laser printer, so he got a Brother Inkjet. It still works so much better, and the ink lasts so much longer, than any other inkjet I’ve used.
