Why do home printers remain so challenging to use despite all of the sophisticated technology we have in 2024?

1.50K viewsOtherTechnology

Every home printer I’ve owned, regardless of the brand, has been difficult to set up in the first place and then will stop working from time to time without an obvious reason until it eventually craps out. Even when consistently using the maintenance functions.

You’re buying cheap printers. Spend some coin and you can get a great printer, yes even inkjet, that works flawlessly and requires little maintenance. Brother monochrome lasers are great, but if you want to print photos inkjet is still the way to go. A decent midrange Epson photo printer requires nearly no maintenance and will self-clean the print head, keep the lines from drying up. 

Colour laser printers are pretty sweet too, but expensive and have a lot of consumable parts.
