A Must Read for Any Retro Computer Enthusiast

We will be giving one of these away on Southern Amis BBS this month. Only the Users and Sysops in this group can really appreciate this fine literature...

Random Drawing on January 31st, 2023 from active BBS users during the month of January 2023

no purchase necessary, new or active users from Southern Amis, Nitelite, Amis XE

Summary:

Each printer is beautifully photographed and ruthlessly torn to shreds as their individual strengths, weaknesses, and charisma are scored on sliding scales born from relatable frustration.

Lol. The bane of anyone who uses a computer is definitely the printer.

Sometimes I wonder if the whole paperless office was push by I.T. that hated working on printer issues. Lol!

Did you look on the bottom of the printer for the admin password? 😉

No but I will look there tomorrow. You'd think someone at HP could have told me this...

At one time not so long ago I had 4 printers all running.

an HP 3050 laser I got from work back in 08ish. Epson x-630

Canon wide format

hp7600

i use the hp 3050 for general printing. It was usb only and I had to run a print server on a rpi zero W. I used the hp 76xx for printing cd artwork for my bootlegs, but sometime last year I went to print something and it was very blue. Futzed with it for a few days only to come to the conclusion that the print head was going bad. This one wasn’t one of the hps that have the print head built into the ink cart. I gave it away.

The Epson is mostly for my wife. She “demands” perfect pics. (This has been the bane of my life for years) and she prints so infrequently that the heads are always getting clogged. I usually have to get out the papertowels

and windex to manually clean the heads. This way I save on the ink.

The canon is also for my wife and her scrapbooking stuff. She also rarely uses that one. Ugh.

So we are down to 3 printers. Lol.
