Printers are actually amazingly decent considering how hard printing arbitrary content on paper is. Dealing with single sheet of paper each time. Putting tiny dots consistently over quite large area with very exact alignment. Doing all this relatively fast...


I mean it's not the technical sophistication that people have issue with. It's the intentionally degraded experience.

On another note, I'm not so sure about the speed either. Powering on the printer and getting it to print reminds me of how long it took to boot a computer back in the pre-Windows XP era.
