1·5 days agoI could see this working, but it’s a ton of effort to maintain. If you have the right mindset, after organized enough, and have the space, I guess it will work.
My other beef is just cost in general. At 500 pages for CMYK each, and $20 a cartridge, that’s $80 for 500 pages. You get about 10x the yield for the same cost with third party toner. Even if you were buying OEM toner at 4x the price, you are still getting 2.5x the yield for the same cost.

2·6 days agoFunny enough, that was the last model I had to do that to, a 9000 series. We had several, but they are dying off steadily to print head failure errors. Reminds me of the Whack-a-Mole scandal.
I would 100% buy a used enterprise printer if I could get a proper deal on it, but that is because I have been a certified HP printer tech and have fixed hundreds of printers. If you count receipt printers and other brands of office printer, I have probably touched over a thousand for anything from rebuilds to jams. There was a year when I rebuilt 10-20 printers a week as part of a schedule.
Anyhow, what I’m getting at isn’t that they are better built or anything like that. There just happens to be enough third party vendors that you never have to pay them a cent to keep a printer running. Someone else already paid them the 2-6k for the printer, and it’s e-waste if it goes into the dump. I can ship of Thesius it indefinitely, even if I have to buy parts from God knows where.

1·3 days agoThe M477fdw is pretty solid. You can find parts and manuals aplenty for that.
Definitely check before you buy a used HP to see if there is a firmware lockout for toner. I have seen other newer models complain about counterfeit toner and still print.
That being said, I don’t endorse HP printers. They are anti-competitive and have terrible software.
No problems with their enterprise desktops, but again, buy used!

55·6 days agoMy routine for unclogging a printhead is to get 99% IPA, blot the head on a paper towel and then drag the head down a sheet of paper until it is leaking ink. As an IT guy, I have recovered several ink cartridges this way.
After you have done this, do several prints until the ink flows properly.
If you have the ability to do so, you should look into buying a used laser printer. The toner is more expensive upfront, but you don’t have these issues and total cost of ownership is significantly cheaper.
Word of warning, do not buy consumer HP printers. These only exist to make you purchase HP toner.
Absolutely look like custom bullshit connectors used on custom boxes from the 80s.

I suggest calling these utilities with no other drives connected.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Proxmox somehow just dies during rsyncEnglish
2·8 days agoTrue, but it’s not clear to me that both drives are exhibiting the behavior and it sounds more like a copy between two drives. I wouldn’t rule it out and do think it is a possibility, but in my professional experience drives fail much more frequently than controllers.
It makes sense to me to test the drives individually, in another system preferably, using smart long test, which is non-destructive. Next test other drives in this system. If there are errors, try changing out the SATA cables, too. If you can shuffle the data off the drives, do so and then try running them through a secure erase in another system. A bad drive should fail the same way in another system.
My other thought for probably not being the controller is that 4TB is a very long time for a sustained transfer to fail on a flakey component. Also, there are no reports of other errors.

If you can move all the data off and do a secure erase on it, it will tell you all lot.
