I mean yeah, printers really try to behave like somewhat sophisticated typewriters in a way. There are so many things that I suppose used to make sense early on but that really should have been refactored again and again over time. But since the technology is so insanely widespread and backward compatibility being a must-have… tech debt is a bitch.

And that’s why IT people hate printers.

Yeah, I really like my 3D printers even though they can be pretty fiddly as well.

But paper printers man, not even once.

Scanners are basically (and most of the time literally) printers. And printers are of the devil.

I’m not Gen Z btw, I’m on the tail end of Gen X and an IT professional of twenty years.
