A printer that doesn’t suck ass.

Printers were sent from hell to make us a miserable.¹

When our kid was born, I wasn’t miserable enough, so I started shopping for a new printer. I bought this all-in-one almost solely based on the recommendation of @omarg, who said it was the first printer he’s owned “with zero problems/hassles.” We’ve had it for a week or two and it works great.

Why it doesn’t suck ass:

It prints photos straight from your iPhone
It prints straight from your camera card
It prints from your computer wirelessly
It’ll scan to your computer wirelessly
You don’t need a USB cable, which the bastards never include anyways
If you want, you can make color copies of your balls (or whatever)
It’s got one tray for letter-sized paper, one tray for smaller photo paper
It does some other shit I haven’t even bothered with

Recommended.

I have an Epson R1900 that prints beautiful, huge prints, but it is the fucking devil. I won’t even look at the stupid thing and every time I make my wife print something for me, she has to pull out the manual. ↩
