Will wake you up at random times with inexplicable noises

Will only accept extremely specific kinds of 'food'

Will have an existential crisis when another of its kind is introduced to the home environment

    Obligatory fuck HP. Also, get an ink tank printer, changed my world for home printing, still only halfway through the first fill, after a couple of years and hundreds of pages.

    Or get a black and white laser printer if you’re mainly printing text and not photos. Laser printed text is much sharper and more readable, plus the toner can’t dry up (it’s already a dry powder) the way ink does (this is why inkjet printers do so many “cleaning” cycles).

    I had a cat problem?!!! Man! That was an expensive Samsung printer, but it did work OK for like a good 10 years. We'll, from now on, I will remember its just a cat problem.
