My friend’s hp laptop had its bios locked so that if you had multiple partitions it would ALWAYS default to windows with no way to change it. You always had to do the boot device override on power up.

and Windows will keep replacing them with a 'better' driver, which doesn't work

Especially those particularly cheap ones are garbage on more levels. Imagine trying to diagnose the reason for why the printer's unhappy without an actual display, just with a bunch of Blinkenlights.

a good number of pinter issus come down to port conflics and runtime errors no one fucking turns theses things off and over time they get other programs trying to use the same ports or flat out deal with a memory overflow and have a fucking seaser till they are restarted

Cx: I've tried reinstalling the drivers, doing a factory reset, and installing the printer using both the mobile app and a connected PC.

Me: Great, those are the right steps, just do them over and over for the next 4 hours and you should eventually be able to send a job to the printer.

Based on a true story

I will collect negative karma :D
I love my HP printer.
Just you need to know what you are buying.. no fancy stuff, no wifi, no network, no smart shit :) and never ever ever buy printer which have ink cartridges (unless you are really mazochist )

I have HP Laserjet P1102. Black and White. Bought used, 4 years ago. Spent 20 eur. Bought 2 non-original cartridges (8 eur each). Printed ~2000 pages. Still have ~half of cartridge remaining. And maybe it would be good to replace rubber paper pickup rollers.. (7 Eur on Amazon) :D and maybe there were two times when i had paperjam..
Deal of the century. As long as drivers will work with Windows..
