I use Brother printers and third-party cartridges. I haven't noticed any colour fidelity problems, but I'm not doing any high-end colour work.

Maybe depends on which 3rd party. I've used 3rd party colour carts on Brother lasers for years with no problem. Also Brother supports Linux and doesn't have the shenanigans of HP. Was the HP laserjet IV the peak? Their inkjet never as good as Brother or Epson, or even Canon.
Edit: I've not had an Epson inkjet for years and most entry level inkjects from anyone seem predicated on making profit from cartridges. I'd only buy an Epson or Brother that took the big tanks. The ink cartridges are a scam. Last edited by Quoth; 02-12-2025 at 06:41 AM. |

Or laser printers for low volume printing because toner cartridges don't dry out. I've been running on the same Brother cartridge for... um... something like 10 years. With a piece of tape over the optical sensor hole to disable the toner low sensor.

Why, when you try to troubleshoot an issue, do the recommended fixes jump from things any idiot already thought up and tried herself to "Inspect the logxmuz, delete all paqimngs, install punbvgtt and run oiunyutr"? Why is there no middle ground for the technically clunky but teachable?

Like right now I'm trying to get one of two Windows workstations to use WSL2 and it won't. I did something to disable Hyper-V two years ago, and reversing the steps isn't undoing whatever I did. The other workstation I did this on reverted just fine. Weird and esoteric. |

I use WSL to do operations on ext4 partitions with shared blocks. I run it from Windows using GCC make (from the Android NDK) using a combination of Windows and Linux commands. It works very well.

WSL itself is great. My specific case though is I broke something and I haven't been able to fix it.

I just meant that I've had good luck. It was pretty painless.
