@TomAoki no, it doesn't look like something like this. I've just been to a ink shop in the city center, they say the toner cartdriges is probably too old (7 years) and some of the rubber parts have become loosy. I'll try to clean and check it in the coming days. Meanwhile, we changed the ink in the office one and I'm now printing

@stefano Maybe you approached your printer incorrectly? Did you bring any offerings?
@leonieke yes, probably 😆
-
@Tacitus I'm trying to be...positive.

@stefano get a laser printer and don't look back. The biggest issue with inkjets is that you need to print regularly for them to stay healthy.
I kept buying more and more expensive injkets thinking that they would be better, but nope... they still suffer from the same issues if you're not printing at least once a week year round.
I then bought the cheapest laser printer and it's still working 12 years later.
@sysop408 I know. I have a good OKI Laser printer at home, but while printing it decided to leave lots of stains on the paper and it's full of toner inside - something must have gone wrong
-
Decades ago, analyzing a log, I stumbled on an IP, apparently from Telefónica in Spain, which requested strange things.
Checking the surrounding IPs I stumbled on an open LaserJet, so I printed the message "¡Cuidado! ¡Tu impresora es accesible para todos!" signing it with my e-mail.
I didn't receive replies, but the day after the printer was no more open.
@GustavinoBevilacqua this is wonderful!

Suddenly, the printer I have in my house started to put a lot of stains in the paper. A lot of the toner seems to have dripped off the cartdriges and made a mess. I have no time to fix it today, so we rushed to the office. Here we have another printer - but it's not been used for months and, being an inkjet, it's printing in a very bad way.
I dislike printers.
Printers are the offspring of Azathoth

@angel I totally agree

@stefano I had to buy a printer recently, only to print medical records because the alternative was using an online system which explicitly demands full remittance of the patient data privacy rights.
so, to protect my patient data privacy I have to cut down trees and now own a mostly plastic laser printer. IN 2025. THIS IS HAPPENING IN 2025.
@winterschon yes, absurd. Every time our governments say "we're going to reduce paper waste", they actually increase its usage.
It's so...absurd! -

@stefano
Ah, 7 years could hurt rubber parts.
I've experienced flooding tonors from disposed tonor bottle as of the broken sensor, thus, my previous comment.
Another example was because someone previously replaced the bottle didn't attached new one properly, thus, leaked. -
@angel this is appropriate: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/115407442311452325
I wrote this series a time ago, based on similar dialogs:

I know things like these have been written a zillion times, but every voice is necessary to fight the oppression of these machines from hell

@angel exactly. Each story is unique. And terrible. Those machines are pure evil.

They've always been the hardest part to diagnose and fix!

@ajlewis2 this is true. Unfortunately.

@amberisvibin Coherent also supported the 286 (and possibly also the 8088), so a 386SX should work just fine. More information about Coherent and the full manual here:

@valhalla the printers deserve it 😆

@amoroso oh interesting. this is an SX unfortunately but it should still probably run fine? thanks for the recommendation
