Alice FeroxDumpster Prince.<br> <br> This royal lad sits on his pavement throne until next week when he will be whisked away to a new land. Seeing what people throw out always gets my curiosity going of what led up to that moment. Was our dumpster prince evicted from his former home in a fit of rage? I know I've certainly wanted to rain down my eternal hatred in the form of physical violence for the printer and copier industry and their stupid shenanigans.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/streetphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#streetphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/blackandwhite?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackandwhite</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/printers?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#printers</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/copiers?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#copiers</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/oldtech?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oldtech</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/dumpsterscape?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dumpsterscape</a>

europlus :autisminf:<p>UPDATE: I think I’ve worked out how avoid the problem.</p><p>Any CUPS experts here?

ts 🚉<p>In your experience, how well do laser printers handle b/w images? As well as inkjet or LED? It does seem like printers in general continue to be garbage - embarrssing in the year 2025 - but then I've taken a tangent.... I wonder about b/w photos.</p><p><a href="https://thepit.social/tags/LED" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LED</span></a> <a href="https://thepit.social/tags/office" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>office</span></a> <a href="https://thepit.social/tags/printer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>printer</span></a> <a href="https://thepit.social/tags/printers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>printers</span></a> <a href="https://thepit.social/tags/productivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>productivity</span></a> <a href="https://thepit.social/tags/technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>technology</span></a></p>
Jonathan Kamens<p>Update on my <a href="https://federate.social/tags/Printronix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Printronix</span></a> saga…<br>Two weeks after the returned printer was delivered to Printronix, they finally refunded most of my money, but they refused to refund the original shipping charge.<br>I emailed them and explained that would have been fine if my return had been over personal preference, but the printer was defective and they lied to me about its capabilities before I bought it.<br>They ignored the email, so yesterday I filed a dispute with my credit card over the shipping charge.<br><a href="https://federate.social/tags/printers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>printers</span></a></p>
