Death to the HP 2575
I don’t know if any of you remember this entry about the HP 2575 and how it made me want to crash my car into Staples, but it is GONE! I finally have had enough of its blatant horrendous-ity and I have sent it out of my life on a rail. The software was impossibly large. The network printing was a joke. The stray that broke the even-toed ungulate’s back was that the paper feeder wouldn’t work no matter what type of paper I had in the tray. This came to a head a couple weeks ago when I was prepping my notes for my Saturday morning radio show.
I was having problems getting the USB to connect consistently. When that was working, the pages weren’t feeding into the printer. I had about 15 minutes before I had to walk out the door to go be on the radio. My head starts to shrink onto my brain when I am nervous and don’t have my precious notes to refer to in the moment. So I sat there feeding a sheet in at a time so that the HP 2575 piece of shit would glob some infinitesimal ink blots onto the page for me.
No more. It is GONE. In its place is the Canon Pixma. I will have more on the Pixma later, but it is off to a great start in my mind. It does everything well, and the software footprint is variable. You can install just a basic driver, or you can give the Canon tools a shot if you feel like.
