Fortunately, I never print anymore. But I use that freaking wireless protocol multiple times a day.
For all the hate that printers get, it’s a deceptively hard problem that they tackle:
- They must pull a single sheet of paper perfectly straight out of a stack. That’s hard even for dextrous human hands.
- They must use a fluid that dries instantly yet won’t clog even if unstirred for months.
Having said that, the reason printers went WiFi instead of Bluetooth is that the combined rage towards such a device would be enough to collapse it into a black hole. And you don’t want a singularity in your everyday office.
