The other day I realised that our printer is about 12-13 years old and works perfectly fine. the 'problem' is that from day one it never seem to print color (even though we bought colored ink for it). It still functional though.. I wanna know how long or the longest you have had a printer for?

its one of these =D

Also post a picture of what you're currently using.

I dream of 0s and 1s folding to my every command,

algorithms seeping from the back of my head when I need them.

I think we have a cheapo hp printer that my parents have finally settle on cause their isn't a diff printer that is cheaper than the ink cartridges. lol Its slow, but works plenty fast for my school papers.
Printers for me, aren't about speed, all I print are school stuff, like yourself.

I wish we had a wifi one, so I could print from my room and not have to boot up their slow ass comp and then finally print. lol

I usually just send it to the computer that the printer is connected to on our network. Saves the whole usb idea.

What printer? Seriously though I don't have one!
Join the club, if I need one just use the one at work or go to kinko's, owning one is overrated and a total hassle in my view. The number of times people attempt to have me print something then I just ask for their e-mail address to forward the info instead. Printing is so 20th century, if it originates on the computer it should stay on the computer not go to paper. All online receipts are printed to PDFCreator app and end up as PDF's, no need for paper at my house.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

I never even use a printer at my place. I do have an 8 year old epson on the shelf collecting dust though.

i have an hp D7460 that was released in 2007. the only problem is that its no longer connects to wifi so i my family was forced to buy a Powerline adapter for it. i would have rather just get a whole new printer, I've had more problems with this thing than you can believe.
