I picked up a refurbished Xerox b&w laser printer 5 years ago. It never gives me problems, and the toner lasts forever. One of the best tech purchases I’ve ever made.
My 1996 Lexmark BW compact laser printer just died.
1996...nearly 30 years.
I can probably fix it, just keeps saying paper jam. When I'm bored I'll open it up.
Oh, and it's a centronix connector, ha!
My guess some paper got jammed. You have to unjam it.
Hahahahaha
Dang, yer a smart one, thanks for the advice, Dad! 🤣
I bet there’s still CUPS support for it, you can probably print to it via CUPS
Today in my office kitchen I saw 'CUPS' sticker on a drawer and was like 'who prints stuff in a kitchen'? I took me 3 seconds to realize.
There is.
It's been on a Windows box for years with a $9.99 centronix-to-USB cable
