A piece of paper on an old printer (a laserjet 4050 to be specific. It says: "Hello, My name is LaserJet 4050 and I was made in 1999. I’ve been doing my job printing your documents for many many years, however I think the motor that powers my paper feeder is bad. This makes me sad because I’m not able to do my job very reliably. As such, I am formally presenting this document as a letter of resignation. IT is working on finding a replacement for me, but for the time being, I apologize if I tell you I have a paper jam. Please allow me to refer you to my coworker, LaserJet 3390. 3390 resides outside of Ray’s office and can be reached at: <some redacted text> Please accept my sincerest apologies for failing. Thank you for replacing my toner and restocking my paper tray. It’s been a wonderful 14 years of working together. Much love, LaserJet 4050

    I still use an HP laserjet 1320n from 2001 so. Works instantly for the probably 10-15 pages I print a year. I haven’t put toner in it for about a decade. The hp print app even works with it so I can print from my phone.

      I was going to mention the app, but felt I was already going fanboy. Last time I had it (7 years ago), I could print from my phone directly to the machine. It even let me fuck with the LCD message!
