I hate how Apples + Googles Prinz services are fucking my Printer, yet CUPS does it right. (lemmy.ml)

I have a brother laser Printer which I use via IPP from my network. It can hold a bunch of pages in RAM and Print them once the other (it can Print 3 in a row) are finished.

Now what does any propriatery printing service do?

They feed ONE PAGE AT A TIME, so my printer starts printing, then it starts cooling off, but then it has to HEAT UP AGAIN FOR FUCKS SAKE, and that every time.

Also if I just print via CUPS from my Linux machine, its like 5 times faster.

And I just don't understand how my 15€ thin client from over 20 years ago can do more and better than my 1200€ iPad.

Just a reminder why I keep using Linux.

I would suggest responding to what they wrote, rather than what they didn't write or what you imagine they may have written, but that's just me.

Another good option is to not respond at all.

Inventing a strawman then arguing with it is pointless
