Nobody listens to him. But he was right all along.

Expected: I cancelled our subscription with HP and they blocked us from being able to use the rest of the ink in our cartridge. (younsfw.com)

I have even gone one step further I don't have a printer at all. If I want anything printed, I will either do it when I'm at the office or get it printed by a stationary store for a small fee (like .05 USD per A4 page in local currency where I live).

I can count with one hand how many times I needed hard copies in the past couple of years.

Currently divorcing. Printer/scanner pays off ๐Ÿ˜ž

I hate multifunction printers. They try to do everything but end up sucking at doing everything.

I ended up getting a separate, high speed Fujitsu scanner with built in auto file naming and OCR and it's been fantastic. I can just scan in all the things and shred them. Less paperwork cluttering the place.

That's rough. Good luck mate. I wish you'll come an emotionally lighter and happier person from the other side.

Thanks. I'm kinda ok, just alone. And it's a lot of paper.
