04:58:25<@JAA>Wonderful
05:00:28<@JAA>Speaking of, I was tasked to get a new printer for someone. Does anyone have a recommendation that doesn't suck?
05:02:09<nukke>depends on budget and needs (is monochrome fine or do you need color printing? do you want scanner functionality?)
05:02:51<nukke>do you need networking on it?
05:06:00<@JAA>I haven't really started looking into it, so I haven't asked for the full requirements yet. Not sure about colour. Scanning/copying yes. Networking yes, ideally WiFi, though Ethernet could be done.
05:06:41Naruyoko5 joins
05:06:49<@JAA>I know that size is a concern, too. The old printer was some Epson thing with an A4 flatbed scan. It can't be too much larger than that.

05:10:57<nukke>I have a Brother MFC-L2750DW. printing works over wifi with Linux and Android without issue. monochrome but toner is very cheap for Brother
05:13:51<@JAA>Yeah, that series is something I stumbled across in a brief search.
05:14:05<nicolas17>I have an old Brother HL-1212W, network printing requires their driver (doesn't support AirPrint), I have a raspberry pi with cups+brlaser to fix that
05:24:01<@JAA>I'll propose a Brother monochrome laser and see what the reaction is. :-)

05:27:55<@JAA>I've heard that Brother is also beginning to become annoying, but maybe that's more on the home market segment (i.e. HL?) than the monochrome lasers.

10:12:38<steering>OK, so I'm not sure what component has been updated that is responsible for this, but gnome-terminal/gnome/something has added an emoji picker. (I also don't know when because I only found out about it on accident)
10:13:14<steering>(gnome has had one for a while, in certain applications, with like Ctrl+. or something - it works in gedit for example, it's okay, it's not what I'm talking about.)
10:15:25<steering>Anyway, the one in gnome-terminal is so incredibly jank that I'm not even sure how it's supposed to work. You press Win+. and an _e_ shows up as text. sometimes, you can then type a word, press space, and it will insert an emoji. for example, "Win+. skull SP" inserts skull emoji. Other times, you do the same sequence and it inserts nothing (and leaves you inserting regular text again).
10:16:24<steering>Sometimes you can do a thing after pressing Win+. that pops up a menu where you can select emoji by category, but I don't really know what that thing is and I can't get it to happen right now :D
10:19:08<steering>Oh, it seems like the magic sequence for the menu is Win+., then press some other letter, then backspace, then space.

14:40:51<valdikss>Hey everyone! Please help me find the file on the internet.
14:41:27<valdikss>In 2008, a third-party company called Wordcraft wrote a driver for Toshiba's E-Studio "GDI" printers and MFPs. There are many mentions of it on the Internet, for example, this page in the Russian-language Ubuntu Wiki: https://help.ubuntu.ru/wiki/ peripherals/MFPs_toshiba_e-studio_181
14:41:39<valdikss>The file is no longer on the site. The subdomains on which the file was located are no longer active. The file was downloaded by a POST request from the page, so it was not cached by archive.org.
14:42:34<valdikss>The company's sales support replied that they no longer have this file, they have changed their business more than 10 years ago and all the people from the Toshiba team are long gone. Help me find it, maybe it's still available somewhere.
14:42:47<valdikss>The file had a name e-studio-1.1-3.i386.rpm or e-studio-1.1-4.i386.rpm (different versions)
14:42:57<valdikss>Proper Ubuntu Wiki link: https://help.ubuntu.ru/wiki/периферийные_устройства/мфу_toshiba_e-studio_181

22:09:39<@JAA>The Search For The Printer, Act 2: colour is required, and the budget and space probably doesn't allow for a colour laser. :-|
22:11:09<nicolas17>gotta deal with inkjet then?
22:11:15<@JAA>And the cheapest colour lasers around here seem to all be HP...
22:11:17<@JAA>Probably, yeah
22:11:46<icedice>Some people on Reddit said that Epson doesn't try and nickle and dime their customers with ink bs like HP does
22:12:19<icedice>I think I remember Brother being mentioned years ago in the same context
22:12:58<@JAA>Yeah, Brother is the usual recommendation, I think. But their colour models are out of budget.
22:14:47<icedice>If you go for HP InkJet, be prepared to either spend $$$ maintaining it or time fighting it (ink refills with syringe, figuring out how to disable the early obsolescence chip)
22:14:58<@JAA>Well, the colour lasers, that is. Looks like they also have inkjets.
22:15:48<icedice>They walked back their plans on having a subscription to let you use their printers though (no, not an ink subscription, a subscription just to use the machine that you bought)
22:16:04<@JAA>Ah, they did? Huh
22:16:08<@JAA>For now, I guess...
22:16:14<icedice>Yeah, they got flamed over it
22:17:42<@JAA>Does anyone have experience with ink tanks?
22:24:28<icedice>Seems like HP printers rejects refilled cartridges
22:25:27<icedice>Some article said that HP have ditched always online requirements, so that's something, I guess
22:31:00<@JAA>Refilling cartridges isn't an option here for unrelated reasons.
22:31:06<icedice>Apparently HP and Epson refuses to scan documents if there's no ink in them lmao

22:43:12<katia>Laser printer.
22:43:52<@JAA>katia: Yes, problem is colour requirement and budget.
22:44:05<@JAA>And space
22:44:40<@JAA>But if you have a particular recommendation, please let me know.
22:47:45<katia>I mean the 540000W one
22:49:11<katia>i have a little old samsung laser printer, monochrome. but it broke :/
22:49:35<katia>ML15550 or so. i loved that thing
22:51:43<@JAA>Ah, heh
22:52:03<@JAA>A 540 kW laser sounds dangerous.
22:53:38<@JAA>I think it'd be visible on the Moon's surface though.
22:54:13<@JAA>(Reference for the unaware: https://what-if.xkcd.com/13/ )
22:55:43<@JAA>Looks like the Luxor Sky Beam is 273 kW, so twice that one. :-)

23:02:33<@JAA>Better not to let the cat play with that though.
23:08:48<@JAA>Here's another fun spec quirk: maximum network port speed: 0.03 Mbit/s
23:09:09<@JAA>It's probably referring to fax, but entered in the wrong field.
23:09:23<@JAA>That model also uses 576 kW in standby.

23:31:07<myself>Epson Ecotank models are solid, but Brother lasers would be my emphatic recommendation if there's any possible way to swing it. Being able to leave the thing idle for months or years and have it just work, no clogged nozzles, is the magic of dry toner that no inkjet will ever match.
23:47:51<@JAA>It'll be used very regularly, so that's not a concern. And yeah, the Brother colour lasers aren't in budget sadly.
