I have a b&w laser brother printer/ scanner. I hate it because I want to print in colour, but the thing just won’t ever break or even pause. I can’t help but keep it as it’s damn fantastic and I’m just being petty.

I have an HP laser printer that is the same. It’s from the pre hated era. HP hates machines that live that long.

How often do you need to print in colour though? For me, it's so rare that I just go to somewhere like FedEx/Kinkos whenever I need something in colour.

Plus, chances are, anytime you need to print something in color you'll also need it to be a relatively high quality print. Which is really expensive to get an a consumer grade printer.
