I love the look of that picture, not gonna lie. It oozes the style of something from late 80s/early 90s. Is it from a game manual?

Me: Prints text document in black and white
Printer: REPLACE YELLOW CARTRIDGE
Me: Cancel. Goes to printer settings. Set BLACK ONLY. Print again.
Printer: REPLACE YELLOW CARTRIDGE
Me: Throws printer in the trash. Picks up 10 year old laser printer for $50.
Printer: Auto installs. Prints from original cartridge.

Black ink doesn't look as black to the human eye as black ink mixed with colours. There are some brands that will let you print black only, but the print quality will suffer.

The colour ink is also necessary so the printing dots unique identifying the printer can be printed on the page. Thanks to those dots the FBI can find exactly what printer was used to print a hostage letter (or any other kind of publication they don't like). You can thank the American government for that one.

I'm currently shopping for a window fan with dual fans.

90% of them are digital with a remote.

I want an analog one with knobs damnit!!

Uncheck the box for “print header and footer”?

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

Also maybe select the correct paper format. If the footer doesn't fit. It may be set to A4 in the browser/driver but the printer has Letter size paper, which is 18mm shorter.
