Help needed!
I want a laser/LED printer, preferrably with color and decent resolution.
This one…
…has 2400x600 DPI resolution.
Most printers I’ve seen has either 600x600 or 1200x1200.
2400x600 is odd, I think? Does this mean that the dots are 4 times higher than they are wide?
Not a helpful comment, but my current “printer” makes me so angry i nearly fainted the other day.
Id very much like to know the correct answer here as well so i can get one
oh my god printers are the worst. I don’t think in my life I’ve ever had more grief with any piece of technology than printers.
sorry for another non-helpful comment! I just needed to get that out I guess
Don’t be! Just normal Mudspikery going on… 
Don’t buy HP is the only advice I can give.
I got a Brother black and white laser printer 4 years ago and I like it. Best printer I owned so far.
In that it is the least trouble. It sucks less than all others.
Never praise a printer too much…
What kind of resolution does it have?
How can we put a man on the moon in 1969. Design satellites that we can communicate with each other on the opposite side of the world. Invent guidance systems for weapons that can put a 2000lb on someones forehead from 40k feet.
BUT FEEDING 3 SHEETS OF PAPER INTO A MACHINE WITHOUT JAMMING REPEATEDLY IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE FOR SAMSUNG.
AS IS CONNECTING TO MY PHONE. OR MORE ACCURATELY. "ILL DO IT THIS TIME, BUT NOT NEXT TIME. THEN ILL RANDOMLY WORK AGAIN TWICE THEN NOT FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK. THEN ILL ACT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED AND YOU’RE MENTAL.
It‘s a MFC-L2710DW, 1200x1200 DPI.
Scanning at 300 DPI is significantly faster than on 600 DPI. Printing is always fast enough and good enough for me and I have no clue what DPI it choses.
I guess 1200x300 could be good enough, but I‘m hardly a power user or experienced in any way.
This is just a hunch, but I don’t think the dudes who does that, makes printers…?
They should! I know! They definitely should…
Have you tried fixing your printer with a tool…? With the wheel of a HMMWV…maybe.
Im not proud but i had the printer above my head ready to just end it the other day doing my end of year printing.
Common sense prevailed but few things get me so wound up as that bloody printer.
My therapy is watching Office Space (1999)
The technology isn’t the issue.
Do you think that printer ink costs 10000$ per gallon because it is so difficult to make?
Long before car companies started charging subscriptions to unlock the full power of the engine, there were printer companies. Before printer companies, there were razor manufacturers. You used to be able to buy a pack of razor blades for cents. Now a couple of system razors cost 20$ or more. Late stage capitalism…
Enshittification, subscriptions, planned obsolescence, straight out of the corpo playbook. And why? Because people roll over and take it.
I know… I have an Epson ink printer. It prints really nice photos. But every flippin’ time I turn it on or off, it does some sort of calibration routine that drives me nuts! It takes forever!
In the former house we lived in, the printer lived in our bedroom. And every time I forgot to turn it completely off, it would start its shut down routine in the middle of the night and scare the 
out of us! 
Listen to @Poneybirds and get a Brother laser printer.
Cartridge isn’t worth the frustration IMHO.
I have refused to own a printer for as long as I could get away with it. Early this year, I got one, but made sure to get a laser printer.
It’s a used Canon USB black and white laser printer. No idea of the DPI and not at home to check it atm. The driver setup was terrible and only just barely works on Windows. Brother printers should not have the driver insanity, according to every thread I find of complaining Canon owners and responding former Canon owners.
Laser printing is amazing though. It just works every time, it never complains about empty (or worse: dry) cartridges or colors I don’t need.
Black and white is a limitation, but this thread confirms that it is SO worth it not to have to deal with cartridges.
Great word. Really communicates frustration. 
If they are using it in the conventional manner (which with the way manufacturers write their specs to appeal to consumers), then it’s 2400 laser dots of horizontal resolution and 600 dots of vertical resolution. Which makes sense, as the lase is much easier to tune to fire off at a high rate, while moving the paper feed mechanism consistently at small steps is a much more expensive engineering problem.
Really? That’s a thing?
I buy the finest blade made, Feather–from Japan, for just a few cents per blade. I use what was once called a “Safety Razor” made by the same company. Classic single blade razors still provide the closest possible shave but men have forgotten how to use them in favor of the speed of a cartridge razor. I stopped using those 15 years ago because of a Gillette commercial. It had three of the world’s highest paid athletes all in the same ad. If the profit is so great that spending stupid money ceases being stupid, I want out of the market. Never looked back.
Could not agree more. Must say though that I’ve enjoyed my current Epson printer for four years and have no plans to replace it. The bottle-filled ink tanks last a year before needing a refill and when that day comes, the refill bottles are there next to the printer.
That image made me laugh. Then it made me sad. There is no way in hell I could ever lift a printer above my head. The “ending” would be mine alone.
That is really interesting and i always look at these things like this
