“Pay no attention to the USB port behind the “no USB” sticker.Is covering a printer’s USB port with a sticker to push people into wireless printing the worst thing HP does with its hardware? Not remotely. Is it still pretty funny to watch someone just take off the sticker and plug their printer in? I think so.” https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/4/23820710/pay-no-attention-to-the-usb-port-behind-the-no-usb-sticker

Friends don't let friends buy HP. I’m Team Brother Laser, but everyone seems to have their own personal favorite.

But not HP.

I will Not buy HP printers at all. Especially with their new "Subscription Ink" bullshit (printer phones home you're out of magenta again and a magenta cartridge shows up...no, I mean No, Hell No). And I'm printing in black asshat, print without magenta. But I was done when they chipped the cartridge like a Keurig Cup.

I recently had cause to buy a printer/scanner and the only sane choice was Brother.

For scanners: the ScanSnap iX500 is the last model that humanity needed to invent. That's it. It's perfection. Close the labs. We're done here.
