I noticed on the latest Sketchup release, 2017, that they talk about the resolution being better, I have noticed that on my 27" that the resolution is better but I cannot put my finger on it. With your 4K do you see a difference?
I replaced it with a Lexmark and it worked pretty good until it broke, physically, and was replaced 3 times under their 5 year warranty.
I bought a brand that I thought I would never buy, Epson. It is about 3 years old and has not given me any problem. It was cheap and replacement ink cartridges are as expensive as the printer but you go with what works. :~)
HP printer problems date back to the 90's for me.
I wrote my first program in 1964.

How many years did you run DOS, WIN OS/2 Warp and UNIX? Did any of the stuff you worked on run windows?

In yor opinion. In my opinion your opinion lacks the hands on experience that I have using DOS, WIN, OS/2 and UNIX. IMO, other computational platforms are not in use by the general public and not relevant to this conversation.
BTW, did you think statements made by me are someone elses opinion? In the future, when you read my remarks, please note that if I am stating someone else's opinion, I will so note, otherwise, feel free to assume my statements are my opinion.
One of the main problems with MS junkware. The OS didn't protect it's memory, so any software could screw it up and boom, make that BOOM. OS/2 and UNIX protect it's system memory so any john doe could not get to it. That's why my OS/2 WARP system and UNIX system 7 never ever needed rebooting. The unix system had 100 users running concurrently on two
386's. Windows couldn't even Print and write to a file at the same time w/o slowing down to a crawl. I still think windows is incapable of opening a real pipe w/o sending data to a file first. Anyone using Windows to write code knew that mistakes generally would lock up the entire computer. OS/2 and UNIX not so much. Bad code might lock up that session, but the rest of the system was not effected at all. Simply close the session and open a new one, took about 1/50th of a second rather that a system reboot.315 million people in the US, 327 million cell phones, almost all are running on andriod (unix) or Apple (Unix). Windows has a totally insignificant chunk of the market.
Your assertions have no value, a complete waste of words. At least your empty statements are brief, just not brief enough.
I did state her computer was running junk, win10. She could have bought one running OS/2 WARP or linux, but damn, nowhere to be found where she shops.
You are an idiot. You never heard of a cable modem? It's how all comcast customers are hooked up to the internet.
She pays for everything. I make her pay when we go out to eat as well. She uses her (our) credit card for that as well. She pays for most everything, I buy almost nothing. (I did by her a snow blower for Christmas, using our credit card). She also writes all the checks to pay off the cards each month. All I do is provide the money, which I never see as it goes directly to her (our) checking account. BTW, I bought her the snow blower so I wouldn't kill myself shoveling snow which would cut her income significantly and end her robust medical coverage.
Best printer I ever had was an HP photo printer. Worked perfect for years until one day I let the smoke out, plugging the wrong damn transformer into it. I think it was a Pixima, not sure. Great printer that was. Been using cheap Canons ever since cause they came free with computers. First one broke after a few years, this one still working OK but damn are they loud and sound like junk. My current computer is an HP envy, worst damn computer I ever owned, and I've been owning computers since around 1983 starting with IBM PCXT. Had an HP computer before that which was pretty good for the money. After this Envy, I'm done with HP. Damn thing doesn't even have a HD light. BW, the XT had a line printer hooked up to it, an Okidata. Paper had those holes in the sides fed with a gear on each side. That was a tank.
I used to use a Fujitsu Line Printer in 1986, it printed about 8~9 lines per pass in both directions. A full page of 14ish" wide tractor feed paper came out about every 2-3 seconds. The paper went up into the air before bending and falling to fold below. I loved that printer and it was the size of a small chest freezer. I could print entire inventory catalogs in 10 -15 minutes.
For normal prints outs I used the DecWriter terminal in my office.
Very thoughtful of you. Anyone living in snow country over (or near) the ago of 60 should invest in one.

I've been kinda eyeing their new Eco-tank system. I really don't *need* another printer *yet*, having the page number cut off isn't that big of faux paux in my business, but there may come a time...
Anyway, I wanted to ask about the drivers. Did they install a huge amount of bloatware or was it pretty much the driver and let you manage things? I hate ink monitors, they work by guessing rather than actual measurement (kinda like shoe sizes.)

Yep, that was the culture and the thought at the time. When Windows was being developed, Microsoft trusted people to not do bad things. They figured a company that would abuse their users wouldn't be around for very long. (I can look up the Raymond Chen blog post, just his opinion and remembrances.)
Microsoft was perhaps a little late to the party, they should have been learning about security around Windows ME (we have the benefit of hindsight here) rather than waiting for XP SP2.
For the sake of argument, though, I'll say that it generally worked: People could do some really cool things with (and to) windows like Windows Blinds and animated mouse cursors, so they spent time writing software for it. The platform with the software gets the users!

And here I though NOT buying one would force one to expend enough energy to stay fit. No wonder this forced air heating is killing me! ;)

In my opinion,
Yeah me too, the eco-tank printers look a lot like the models with out the big reservoirs. From what I can tell the refill ink would cost about $12 per color/bottle and last 5 times longer.
Relatively light weight on install, not intrusive at all. IIRC you can opt for letting the software look for updates behind the scenes and then pick and choose which to update. Nothing fancy at all, no software or trial stuff For dealing with pictures. Mostly just the minimal to make the printer/scanner work. It does monitor the ink but I prefer to see something rather than let the print head go dry and cause print problems.
FWIW I am using a WF3640. Swingman is using the same printer IIRC and I believe he has had good results too.
It is directly hooked up to my computer via USB but works with my wife's computer via WiFi along with our iPad and iPhones. And getting that to all work the first time was a snap.
The only feature that I wish it had is an auto on when you send a print command. You still have to manually turn it on but it will go into stand by and eventually shut down by itself.
I will also add that most everything is intuitive so features you do not use often are easy to remember. It does have a color touch screen display that walks you all the way through any procedure. I understand the non screen versions are a bit more difficult to operate.
How is reconstruction coming along?
Is the Domino working out?
Out of all the activities one can do to stay fit, shoveling snow has to be at the bottom of the list!
IBM was something like that in the '70s and '80s. There were at least a half a dozen groups working on different versions of the PC. When the winner was chosen, some of the top people from the other groups transferred to Boca to finish the PC. No one lost their jobs, though. IBM just didn't do that, well, until the '90s. ;-)
Mainframe design worked in such teams, too, though they generally leapfrogged each other. There was competition between the sites designing them, though mostly for the overlapping business.
Even after Y2K there were several teams designing PPC processors, though their roles were fairly well established (though there was competition for new products, like the X-Box).
This thread had me reading reviews of laser printers for over 2 hours yesterday--and I don't even need one! %-) That said, should I need one tomorrow, I've narrowed my selection down to one of two of the Brother laser printers... About every time I buy a printer, I seem to be getting more for the money than the last time.
What's so unusual about that? We have a 50/50 marriage. I make it and she spends it. ;-)
Indeed. ;-)
