They work better in Linux than Windows, not to mention backwards compatibility.

EDIT: I may be wrong about newest printer models, 2020 and above.

My printer has to go through like 5 power cycles for it to even detect its ink cartridges. I guess thats what i get for taking the ewaste printer from the office

Atleast it was free? I did the same thing, took office salvage. I’ll be replacing it soon with a laser printer.

a free printer is always awesome, but youll mostly spend money on ink anyway

A free printer might be awesome if it's laser...a free ink jet printer is like saying you got stabbed 'for free'. I mean, yeah, it was free.
