So what I need to do if I own an HP printer when it’s at end of life is set it on fire in a blast furnace?
As someone that’s worked on them, id recommend just starting out with the blast furnace. It’ll save a ton of headaches down the line.
Oh are you a fellow printer hater? Glad to meet you! I’ve been hating them since the 80s/90s when I, as a child, was rather frustrated with a working printer deciding to not work on my first few personal PCs. I’m just relieved now when my current printer wakes up and does what I ask of it…
Or just turn off the data storage to the memory chip from the control panel.
Ah that’s a good idea too. But what if you really just hate printers and want to see them burn?
As long as you’re in a well ventilated area. You don’t wanna breathe that in.
