There has to be one millionaire on earth, doing absolutely nothing of worth, who can look into the sorry state of home printer tech. You don’t even have to really get involved—just toss some cash to some engineers and programmers and have them figure it out. They’ll do a Kickstarter or something and pay you back, I’ll make sure of it. Even if they don’t, you’ll be known as the guy who figured out how to make them tolerable, even pleasant, to use.
This new, usable, functional, rage de-escalating printing product will do more for humanity than any useless Nobel Prize-winning dweeb or any psychopath career politician has ever done:
I genuinely think there’s an opportunity for someone to revolutionize the printing space and bring our paper-sputtering, boring gadgets to modernity (and hopefully beyond that). Maybe Apple wouldn’t have to create their own supply chain of ink; buying another company that already does it — and making their products better — would likely suffice. Do you think an iPrinter would include a power cable? 😉

The doctrine is that we should all go paperless. It has never really worked that way. I’d be happy with a high-end dot matrix printer.
I had a Brother word processor with a dot matrix printer that I used to write on, in high school and college. It worked rather well. I recall never having to change any ink or having an issue with using it or it wearing out, and I used it a lot.
I think this was the model:

I am in 100% agreement with this post because, you know, my children and I need and are expected to print and scan things for various reasons. Printers cause me no end of frustration.
My kids need printed things as well. Luckily there is a Staples not far from my house.
