No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

For instance, I have 2 HP CP1518ni's. They print well and have an auxiliary tray. They have WIFI, Ethernet, and USB. The toner refills are dirt cheap on Amazon. This model printer is old Govt surplus and are sold for $150-$250 range fully rebuilt all over the net. I also have my original HP PSC 1200 from 2000 and it is a great scanner and also makes great photocopies direct from the machine with no computer needed. 25 years and still going strong.

TLDR: There is no need to get these new machines that force you to buy HP toner and ink, get a refurb older HP laserjet instead.

Because even if you have the skills needed to referb an old printer, there is no garentee that the drivers will function on a modern OS. Or in my case, in Linux. It's a lot easier to just buy a new printer from another brand if you need a printer.

Honestly though, most people don't print enough anymore for buying a printer to make sense. Cheaper to just go to your local Kinko's or whatever and have them print out the 3 or 4 pages per year. If that's not an option, get a laser printer.
