Books, newspapers, and magazines are printed perfectly all the time, why is it such a hassle to get home printers set up? Software is buggy and hard to work with even for professionals, and the hardware is always having issues. Home printers have been around for a long time and in general modern software is quite sophisticated. This seems like something we would have figured out by now. Even in offices, it’s hard for IT to set up printers. Why haven’t we gotten printers that just always work? Is there some fundamental problem we can’t solve?

No they are not. When there is a problem, it is corrected and misprints are destroyed. You only see the stuff that isn’t messed up.
because ink jet printers are pieces of garbage. The ink drips out and the nozzles dry up. Get a good laser printer and you will be set.
That being said you cannot compare the print industry to anything you do at home. It is vastly different to bulk print something. They use printing presses which can cost 100s of thousands of dollars or more. Printing may go through 5 passes or more, 3 with colored ink, black, and clay for the gloss coating.
