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

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.

because printers are functionally disposable because that’s what people buy.

if you want reliability you can go drop a [grand ](https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/8176157/Lexmark-MS821dn-Laser-Monochrome-Printer/)or more and get a printer that will spit out millions of pages a year.

instead you spend $[60 ](https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/901763/Canon-PIXMA-MG3620-Wireless-Inkjet-Color/)for a printer, copier, fax, scanner inkjet printer that gets used once a month.
