Ah yes. Possibly I'm just stubborn. And not fond of leaving my house.

Replacing dried up ink, or even just chasing down a copy of the operating system which has drivers for the printer *which actually work*… my experience with cheap printers over the last dozen years has left me cynical and jaded.

Felix didn't actually say how often he needs to print. For mine, I
print one or two pages once a week or so. For my purposes (and given
previous note about my proclivity for hermit-like behaviour) I find
it's easier to just play along with the printer's quirks. When they
die, they're cheap enough to just throw away and replace.

My father would have a fit if he heard me say that, and would probably
lecture me about the "disposal society" I live in.

Writing gives you the illusion of control, and then you realise it's
just an illusion, that people are going to bring their own stuff into
it.
