@… @… I’m using a Brother HL-L5200dw with Macs, and I’m very happy with the printer itself and the quality.
It’s got a built-in PostScript interpreter; with very cheap printers, the rendering is typical…

Uh... Everytime I want to print something on my HP Smart AI web printer for Microsoft Windows 10 S edition with Microsoft™ Copilot Office 356 Copilot app (Office 365 operated by 21Vianet version) with a Clipchamp link, the system makes another printer device.
Maybe I should just switch to one of the GOOD operating systems. Which one though...

After a few days trying to print my stupid round labels, I have to show:
- an incredible waste of time and paper
- a burned fuser in a laser printer
- the absolute certainty that printers and their software are the utter negation of everything computers were supposed to be
The Antichrist, the Omega, the final destination of mankind will be born when some LLM Agent will mate with a printer.

Sometimes hacking a computer means a whole different thing...
In this use, I'm actually hacking (with a hacksaw) the case apart to add an I/O shield (custom made) so I can fit an older motherboard that was not designed for this case.
And thank you to Gateway for making me do this by not using a removable shield and instead stamping every hole they needed and covering them with a sticker if they weren't on this model. 🤦‍♂️

I’ve managed to get a slot in march to take the coveted „3D printer license course“ in march. Which means afterwards I can use the library‘s 3D printers 😁

Open Printer is an open source inkjet printer with DRM-free ink and roll paper support
The Open Printer features a modular and highly repairable design, and while it uses the popular HP 63 cartridges, it lacks DRM blocks that lock out third-party cartridges. It also allows printing on paper rolls, so you can either use the in-built cutter to make A4 sheets, or print longer items like banners. The Open Printer will be launched via a crowdfunding campaign soon.

I got a free HP wireless printer, and it seems that it is not designed to work on a subnet other than the one where the print job is sent from.
I had to configure an Outbound NAT rule in pfSense so that traffic from print jobs is sent out with the pfSense IP address to trick the printer into thinking that the sender is on the same subnet.
What a hassle!

For me at least 2 HDMI ports, 2 USB-C, headphone jack and at least three other USB ports. I have a USB hub for my one Windows 10 laptop as I have multiple devices (scanners, printer, keyboard, mouse and a couple for USB sticks and my external drives). You want to cheap out on ports then I close the tab when I check out your product and go to the competition.

3D printer? Yeah, sure, my printer's 3D. I mean, can you physically even have two-dimensional objects in three-dimensional space?

The first large project that I took on basically alone in a large environment was polishing the custom-crafted system for feeding printers into something less support-ticket-generating at Daimler-Chrysler. That provides a rough date... The original author (who had become management) praised my work.
It got me a promotion of sorts. I graduated to no longer being required to work on printer issues or with anyone who might have printer issues.

Saw something unremarked in the background of a YouTube video, spent 5 minutes in CAD, walked to the 3D printer and pushed the button. An hour later my life was just that little bit better.
I like that that is possible nowadays, much as I dislike so much else about the modern world.

The year 2025 was the year I finally fulfilled my destiny and became a bureacrat — I couldn't be happier! White shirt, red tie, brown belt, mechanical in my approach to things. I love spreadsheets, files, book-keeping, accounting, finances.
Most of what I do in a day is read E-Mails, fill out forms, write documents, read documents, call and text people. I have a desk, a printer, get a tea in the morning.
All this with the added spice that I often write press releases, get cuttin…

Still having issues with a 3D print, already cleaned printer, lubed vertical screws, used IPA on chrome and carbon rods, thoroughly cleaned build plate, cold pulled nozzle, dried filament… I think it might be this specific batch of filament having issues

dehydrating the filament does make a difference for 3D printing. Much less stringing. I'm using my food dehydrator occasionally to dry filament that was sitting outside too long on the printer. ##3Dprint #3Dprinting

Woo! Got Intext EPROM working on my Epson HX-20 after quite a fight!
After Ghidra'ing the ROM dump to figure out what the error it was giving was about, I figured out it needed me to go through BASIC and do a CLEAR to specify a 'ram file' size for it to use.
Now, to figure out a Ghidra patch.

I'm finally trying printing with Spiderflex (77-82A shore) filament. The print speeds remind me of my first 3d printer. Two tiny parts totaling under 3g took about an hour, printing with a maximum speed of 10mm/s. But having really flexible TPE is really handy; there's really no reasonable alternative!
Now I have new feet for my KX3, and honestly they might be better than the originals (sorry Elecraft!) They are at least as grippy on the table surface, and they are a closer fit on the …

I just realized my microwave oven interferes with my 3D printer and makes it hang up

Apparently the "Brother printer support scam" is still a thing. Great job, search engines, certificate providers, browser developers, and every other tech field that's failed to stanch this over the last decade or two.

Muscle tissue from a 3D printer—produced in zero gravity
Human health is the Achilles heel of space travel. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now succeeded in printing complex muscle tissue in zero gravity. This will enable drugs for space missions to be tested in the future.

Let's hope this works. Then it would be an easy fix for the bloody IKEA Nävlinge LED Lamp that breaks too easily at the clamp.

Interesting: We're in approximately our 250th year of people making jokes about "Maybe this is the year of Linux on the desktop?" Two of the blockers have been "games" and "printers". However in just the last year, Bazzite and SteamOS have taken care of the former.

M3D-skin: Multi-material 3D-printed Tactile Sensor with Hierarchical Infill Structures for Pressure Sensing
Tactile sensors have a wide range of applications, from utilization in robotic grippers to human motion measurement. If tactile sensors could be fabricated and integrated more easily, their applicability would further expand. In this study, we propose a tactile sensor-M3D-skin-that can be easily fabricated with high versatility by leveraging the infill patterns of a multi-material fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer as the sensing principle. This method employs conductive and non-conduct…
