    My current Brother laser works fine with cheap third-party toner cartridges. That's the good news.
    The bad news is, the cheap cartridge that's in it now throws random blotches and the toner doesn't...

    The complaints about inkjet ink costs reminds me of a well-known hack for the early-'80s Epson dot-matrix printers.

    Vision really isn't the issue here: she's using an old Sharp 18" 1280x1024. I tried passing on my old 22" 1600x1050 HP, but she just says "It doesn't look right." Her settings work out to roughly the...

    It's been decades since I've been in a fast-food place where a cashier actually enters the price.
