    Well, what if I never had a problem with a printer? I realize I might be just lucky, but I never got the fuss about broken printers.

    Now if we’re talking 3D printer, yeah, that shit needs constant repair.

    Edit: Holy shit dudes, never expected to get into the negative score for stating objective facts. Get help, pretty please.

      3D printers have obvious and fixable defects. When they break you can see the broken part, you can diagnose and fix it. Regular printers are just fuck you machines.

        They didn’t used to be.

        And I suspect the same will happen with 3D printers over time.

          I’ve had my brother printer for around 10 years now with no problems. Assuming they are still made the same, I highly recommend them.

            Brother as far as I know produces only office printers. Most people that complain about printers talk about those home inkjet printers that they bundle with PCs.

            Kind of side note. 20 years ago I remember buying PC at best buy. It came with Canon (I think) printer. I told them that I didn’t want it, saying that I already had a printer at home going to get lower price. After the sales guy removed it, the price was actually higher. They apparently were paying them to include it.

              Pretty sure my brother is a home printer. It’s bulky, for sure, but that’s probably part of the reason why it has lasted so long. But yeah, I get what those people are complaining about. I bought a brother specifically because everyone always complains about crappy printers, so I looked up which one wasn’t crappy and paid the premium to have something I wouldn’t soon need to replace.

                I think I misunderstood you. And you were just giving comment about brother.

                Coincidentally my brother printer croaked but I think it might be 10-15 years old, so it served well.
