Is it not even possible to buy a printer that JUST prints? I have a scanner, I don't need a scanner OR copier too! Why do they all have to do everything? #printerwoes

Ah, the joys of Windows updates! 🎉 Microsoft is on a heroic quest to save us all by deleting old drivers, bravely risking our PCs turning into expensive paperweights. Because nothing says "reliability" quite like hoping your dusty printer doesn't suddenly become a relic of the past! 😂

I usually buy non-branded ink for my printer without problem. For some reason, recently, the magenta has been having issues - no matter which non OEM version I buy - usually in poor print quality despite having more than half the ink left, and no matter how much head cleaning and aligning I do.

There are no issues at all with branded magenta ink.

It's weird.

One heaping stack of prints later, my laser printer is color calibrated.
And why, for the love of color, is a laser printer, with CMYK toner cartridges, adjusted in the driver by means of RGB sliders? #printerWoes
