I need to share that using my ancient HP LaserJet today was awesome. Stupid simple thing didn’t have w10 drivers on their site, but some from Vista x64 (?) just worked. What’s with the joy, you may ask. Well,
when I failed to provide it with enough paper, I added some, pressed cancel for it to reevaluate things, and then it continued to print, no system dialogs or whatever;
when I pushed a botched print job onto it, repeatedly pushing the same cancel button just, well, canceled said job - no errors, no dialogs, no asks to restart like before, it disappeared from the queue, so the fixed one started immidiately after I pushed it.
It acts like a tool. Not like newest HPs I’m fed up with, just a reliable machine that doesn’t think for it’s user or nudge you to fix toner issues. These are basics, natural things to expect. But for some godfucking reason it is a treasure to come by.

I dread the day it may eventually die.
