@cell they’re supposed to be very good but these compacts and the Fuji are trendy so they’re jacking the price up

@gray i've handled the predecessor, the GRIII and it was very nice for a compact, i can understand why they would jack up the price considering its popularity, i just think that it doesn't warrant leaving out some major upgrades and fixes along the way..

@lanodan @snacks @meso @cell They work, but ink barely lasts few months before being reported as "low". Of course barely used in that time. Even the Linux drivers are somewhat reliable.

@cell @snacks @meso @lanodan @hj Can confirm, HP always manages to question your sanity when troubleshooting their products and printers especially. The WiFi ones refuse to print unless you install an app and get an account. USB printing doesn't work either.

Reminds me of having printed that one of the high-school printers had the yellow dots.

@lanodan @snacks @meso @VD15 @hj @cell They all have that, it's used for tracking the origin of the document. It encodes the serial number and model or something like that.

@phnt @snacks @meso @VD15 @hj @cell B&W by definition don't.
And the old color Kyocera that they also had also didn't.

@elly @phnt @snacks @meso @cell Heh "1." reminds me that my family is so Windows-free that mine saw illumos/Linux/FreeBSD/macOS/… but not Windows.

And the rare friends that were using Windows on their laptops (yeah past tense, Windows destroys itself) didn't had to print.

@cell I haven’t followed it too much but I’d heard people saying the GRIII was a great less expensive alternative to Fuji x100 of the time.

@lanodan @snacks @meso @cell i repair printers and i will say that Canon is rather solid across the board except the low end inkjet models that people expect to print 103837382 pages on 90€

The laser units you actively have to abuse with a hammer or knife to break (which is valid). Can't speak for the software experience though, but I've had models sent to me that have been dropped down stairs and they print just fine, as long as the fixing/fuser and ITB is intact.

@meso @snacks @lanodan @hj @cell My Brother printer from last year also works fine. No drivers on Linux required (Windows needs them).

@xian @snacks @meso @cell Well inkjet is a scam anyway, except maybe for professionals who print regularly but all the copy shops I know use laser, and the stuff used to print business invoices is either matrix (in fact that's how I still know their sound) or laser.

@lanodan @snacks @meso @cell its a scam until you want to print borderless or on photo paper / art/rag paper. Most people don't do that often enough though and should just go to a print shop for the occasion which probably have some high end inkjet models or imagepress kind of stuff. (Lasers suck at photos)

@xian @snacks @lanodan @cell I'd like a color photo enlarger. It's a very delicate process tho it's not at all as straightforward as b&w

@xian @cell @lanodan @snacks alternatively a color inkjet. I'm pretty sure it'd be more expensive to get a decent non fussy one

@meso @snacks @lanodan @cell the cheapest ones to use long term are eco tank / ink tank models. The cartridge ones are seriously stupid considering you have to clean the print heads on inkjet printers from time to time to retain quality, which means emptying ink from the head/cartridge. But if you're going to print photos the options are slim, its sucking or sucking a bit less essentially.

@phnt @snacks @meso @lanodan @hj @cell I've never had issues with print drivers on hps
On the other hand the firmware updates that brick your ink cartridge 🤢

@xian @snacks @meso @lanodan @cell Xerox used to make these neat solid ink printers. They'd have a long start up time to melt the ink but then maintain temperature like a coffee machine to remain ready for printing until shut down. Great print quality, not sure about nozzles clogging since it works a lot like an inkjet but obviously different due to the heat to melt the ink.
But yeah, now it's either Epson ecotanks for inkjets (everything else sucks or is a ripoff) or one of the million options of laser printers only a few of which are good.

@cell @hj @snacks @meso @lanodan Canon is worse. I've repaired enough printers to know that for a fact.
