HP once made printers that didn't just last years, but lasted for huge chunks of an entire century.
My office's HP LaserJet 1100 printed its first page in 1998, printed at least two pages every day, and finally printed its last page this morning before breaking. It printed for 26 years straight.
Twenty six years.
@arielmt over a quarter-century is a damn good run for a printer, wow.
*I* have only existed for like 5-6 years longer than it has. 😂
@arielmt i got a crummy portable deskjet (forget the model number) as a bundle with a retro win98 laptop i wanted to get on ebay and i was ready to just consider it as a paperweight but on a whim i bought cartridges for it and for how small and obviously cost-cut it is, it somehow still prints amazingly
If I can't repair it, I'm putting it in a glass case with the last dated page it ever printed, for display in a museum. What a tank of a soho consumer electronics device!
