Why Do Printers Hate Us So Much?

Geekly Gary ⋅ January 16, 2021

I am not trying to be clever with the title of this post. Nope. I’ve just always hated printers. Office printers. Home printers. I even hate 3D printers… though I’ve never met one. And sure, this is a time when we should be trying to let go of anything in our lives that cause us distress. But that just doesn’t work with printers. They are as necessary as motor oil in a car. Wings on an airplane. Hot dogs on The Fourth of July. The difference is, those things all do their jobs. And they do them well.

Not printers, though. Oh no…

The name "Geekly Gary" actually comes from my high school Physics teacher. He gave all of us nicknames, but for some reason, mine followed me well beyond those "formative years." I've always embraced it and I love it even more today. Maybe it's the alliteration or maybe it's just because it perfectly describes me. I am "geekly." If it's science or tech-related, I have to know how it works and I won't stop until I do. Of course, there are the unsolvable mysteries of the science and tech worlds that may never be solved. Do they keep me up at night? Yes. Oh and my leftover time is spent with my amazing wife, two daughters, son, and our beloved Boba, the family beagle.

My printer and I haven’t been on speaking terms for more than a year now.
