Before buying this printer, I made a quick search to confirm that it has wifi connectivity... (the algorithm lied to me) - eviltoast

and because i’m a lazy ass i didn’t read the specs but just read the search engine result.

I also assumed that because 6 years ago i bought a $50 hp envy and it had wifi, this much expensive one is also going to have it

Result: that $250 printer doesn’t actually have wifi

    I set up a RPI 2 at my parent’s house connected to a 15 year old printer and it works like magic. Basically any device can detect and use the printer using Samba as long as it’s on the network. No drivers or anything.
