What do you mean the printer shit itself?

I have to have a working printer to print out all my work travel shit at least once every two months
The only way I can deal with the printing was buy printer, buy more than enough cartridges and occasionally use the thing to keep it ticking over. I still plan days ahead of needing any documents
In the old days I used to drop round my 70 year old dads and ask if he could print stuff but the combination of ancient printer, ancient computer half speed geriatric two finger typing, shush I know what I’m doing I’m just reading the instructions pantomime sent me insane
Argos 100 meters away is my saviour. The town doesn’t have a single printing shop that will do a few docs for you

Apparently it's progress. Funnily enough it's something my folks business used to do

The discovery that Argos will deliver printer cartridges to my local Sainsbury's the next day was a big help.

without being quite sure where you are, but would the library have a copier / printer? (assuming of course you still have a local library)

I'm so glad 3D printing never really took off as a home thing. Can you imagine the grief?

It's all good, man
It did, for some.
I don't have much trouble with my 3D printers. Probably because they're not HP.

I mean tbh sometimes it's not the printer I hate. Picked a ticket T1 couldn't do remotely. It was "jammed" and nothing T1 had suggested worked apparently.

Get a laser printer. From the sound of it, it will save you a fortune.

I currently have four printers (five if you include the shit epson one we haven’t got rid of yet).
HP wireless one which I’ve had zero issues with amazingly.
A Munbyn sticker/label printer. It’s such a fucking ballache to print on different sizes/shapes which is the whole point of the bastard thing. I can’t print yodel labels, I just can’t work out how.
A pooli sticker thermal printer which is nice for kids or a bit of a novelty but haven’t used it really.
Now I have an instax photo printer to print Polaroid style photos from my phone.
Do I need so many? Probably not but I’m enjoying them.

I used to struggle with the printer at work, and always tried to duck out of fixing its many problems. This convinced me that printers were problematic, so I have never owned one. When I need to print something that I can't justify at work, I go to the library and pay 10p per page. This has saved me an awful lot of money, but more importantly has preserved my sanity.

I struggle to sleep on Thurday nights as is (Thurs TV is usually good, and I have to get up at four on Fridays), so naturally my printer has to start running its noisy maintenance routine at half past two. There's literally no reason this is still a thing. It's "always on/connected" or else it doesn't work. The stupid fucking fucking knows where it is in the world, what the local time is and yet has to piss about with cartridge-cleaning routines in the middle of the fucking night.
My iPhone charges at the appropriate speed that it quickly learnt from my weekly schedule, so what the fuck is this bullshit!??
