HP is the worst.
Why is “jup” in German/Dutch/Swedish/Danish spelling?
Are you an undercover German?
Jup.
OH SHIT GET 'T LUCHTALARM /j
Guten Tag!
Hello, printer driver developer here. I hate you all
Man, I just love the way you guys ignore basic exception handling, insist on using undocumented APIs, exclusively hook into system resources, fail to address even the most fundamental of good memory management practises and then demand your software runs as an unprotected kernel-level driver.
It's fucking great.
Hey, you can blame my senior who did most of it and left this mess to me when he quit. I just pray everyday that nothing breaks since we don't even have internal documentation for this code and almost no comments whatsoever :)
I love my job :D

We can tell.
My Brother laser printer sends its regards.
Why tf do printers even need drivers? Where do they have to go? Why can't they get there by themselves?
CUPS my beloved
They usually have casters but they're pretty flimsy.
Printers are proof there's a God and that it thrives on our suffering.
Ink for the ink god, drivers for the driver throne.

My HP laser printer is amazing, no drivers needed, lasts long on ink, connects to everything, I love it.
Sure it doesn't have colour printing, nor scanning, not Bluetooth. But the thing just works every single time!
#1 reason to go paperless at the office lol
so we have an uncovered smiling cop pepper-spraying and a dude with a full protective mask and gas type filters turning head and closing eyes. :) Is it only me who find this pic weird.
It's what pigs do. Don't matter the country.
Also keep in mind, the person getting spray isn't just a regular protestor but the press.
I believe the OP was asking why the cop isn't worried about spraying themselves in the face. Pepper spray has a habit of getting everywhere.
Multifunction-Printers are even worse. If you got a decent one by chance, after 5 odd years the integrated server gets wonky and the usb controller starts randomizing MAC addresses, so you have to setup it anew each time. Those things are haunted!
This may explain the issues I have at my buddies automotive shop... every few months all the PCs loose connection, then I have to uninstall all the drives and install them again. Fucking HP.
pc load letter?
WTF does that mean?
I literally go to the copy place now and tell everyone I "don't know how" to work on printers.
Life is too short.
We have central printing with color Kyoceras on each floor, with black and white as default preset (pushed via GPO) we managed to decrease our printing expenses by 80%
Idk why, I had a good experience with my canon multi functional
Printer and scanner drivers are going to be the death of me, I swear
I got volunteered to fix printer driver issue for a family member. The had one printer, and got another bcz the first one broke. New printer wouldn't work so they just kept installing the drivers. The software gladly let them. Thankfully only took 15 mins to fix, but I told them printers are for bitches, me and my home print at the library.
Hey it's me zebra...🔥🔥🔥🔥 oopsie
