You forgot to add: "A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it."

This particular video had a deep well of training data.

My HP 1022n is still kicking after 20 years, with zero maintenance. With laserjets, you don't have to worry about the ink drying.

Nice. That one is definitely a workhorse. Dirt cheap toner, too. I began my career in IT at a small business, and I deployed one of those for a very high volume location, waaaay above its supposed lightweight duty cycle. I recall it as being incredibly fast and low-maintenance.

At home I've had 3 HP lasers in my life, all acquired for cheap or free.

A LaserJet 2100N - owned this for 10 years after getting it for free from a closing store (it was their office printer, it only perished because I did a bad job replacing the dried-out rubber rollers. Printed multiple reams of paper with it and never even replaced the toner.

A LaserJet P2055dn - like $100 shipped on ebay? owned this for about 7 years, printed at least a dozen reams. It still worked when I gave it to Goodwill to replace it with an all-in-one when an inkjet AIO we used for scanning died.

A LaserJet M227fdn - Acquired with 200 pages on it for $30 at Goodwill. No issues as I assume this will probably last a decade.

Moral of the story: Laserjets - and especially monochrome ones if that fits into your lifestyle - basically last forever and print for far less than the paper costs.

I had a LaserJet III my dad got before I was born in the 1980s and it still worked when I got rid of it, even on Windows 10. PCL4 generic drivers worked just fine as well (they work on anything I'm pretty sure) and toner was $15 it just was gigantic and felt like it was going to blow the breaker when it printed

I remember one like that in the break room of a big retail store I worked at in the ‘00s, that everyone needed to use to print their weekly shift schedules with (and presumably had been there since 1990 or so). I’m sure it lasted another decade after I left!

The N word yielded interesting results.

I created an IOT 3d printed, Raspberry Pi Pico powered WIFI fish feeder with a rotating dispensing carousel with an 8 food pellet capacity. I could have made it higher capacity but NJ is a restricted state (gun joke). I plan on improving it by adding battery backup and an RTC, so I can travel and be sure that my fish still get fed in case of a power outage.
