This is something that really grinds my gears, I have never once owned a computer printer that was not a completely useless pile of shit. They can make computers that can outsmart the guy that won Jeopardy, they can make cars that can run almost entirely on batteries, but nobody can make a printer that doesn’t jam?! Seriously! The printer is nowhere near as complex as say a computer or a Playstation 3, it really only has one main function: to print out a fucking document when you need it. Have you ever …
