if there is a single piece of advice I can give anyone looking to make a living, it's to always pretend to be completely incapable of understanding what's wrong with the printer. If at any time the printer does not print when it has power and paper, stop and give up. Do not under any circumstances try to problem solve anything related to them, lest you immediately become the designated printer person because you didn't reflexively recoil at the thought of troubleshooting one. Leave the troubleshooting to the masochists who chose to make a living of it, blessed be their twisted souls

Printer and scanner drivers are going to be the death of me, I swear

I know it is all fun and games.

But the real reason printers are so fucky is because they convert digital to analogue, which rarely happens without complications.

In digital, everything is very neat. If something says it is 24,76%, then you can be damn well sure it is exactly 24,76%.

In analogue, the tolerance is much wider. A paper can move a whole millimetre to the side and there isn't much we can do.

Idk why, I had a good experience with my canon multi functional

I got volunteered to fix printer driver issue for a family member. The had one printer, and got another bcz the first one broke. New printer wouldn't work so they just kept installing the drivers. The software gladly let them. Thankfully only took 15 mins to fix, but I told them printers are for bitches, me and my home print at the library.

I've had one printer issue come up in like 7 years.

If you are quitting a higher paying field over printers in modern tech, you are doing something wrong.
