A device that's been end-of-lifed does not mean it's no longer useful. It just means it's not getting any new features. Sometimes end-of-life does mean it's not useful. I had an HP laser Printer that was end-of-lifed because HP decided not to release a 64-bit driver that worked with Windows 8/10.

So basically, I got screwed over for lack of a printer driver.
