  • I would reinstall the rpm fusion ones and remove the ones from the official site, also check if maybe there is a flatpak update for steam if you have it. Also blacklist your nouveau driver in the grep config file, it could be that its using that.

    If you want to check if its working use glx-gears with the info flag and set the opengl to the nvidia card. It could be that it doesnt work, its been a long time since my driver broke.













  • the problem with not fixing what isnt broken, is that my parents arent the most technologically adept anymore, hell just the other day the guy that was installing their fiber told them that wifi is as fast as ethernet, and almost got them to buy 2 extra wifi access points they never needed. so i just want em to live life nicely and not have leaches glued to their wallet. the other reason why i want to replace that printer is that my 3d printer is looking awfully upgradable and hungers for some new parts. so its 2 birds with one stone really.

    Im thinking a toner printer would be a good replacement since that stuff just never seems to run out and is really low maintenance. they do have a big old black and white office printer in the basement for bulk printing, but the hp bastard does all of smaller stuff. sadly they have updated the firmware on it so we cant shove third party cartiges in it. anyways thanks a bunch for the guide printer guru!



  • thanks mate, ill look into those, 300 bucks is about what i expected to pay for a new one. also i love the picture with the 2 ladies on the borther HL-L3280CDW listing. they are like “aw yeah look at us workin our work so efficiently, all because our god on the desk, printing out our work documents for us to work on”





  • itll mostly just be hooked up to one desktop tower, so connectivity wont be too much of an issue, altough 66 bucks for it is quite the attractive price. but it does make me a bit suspicious if they are doing the same trick as HP. selling printers for almost really low and ink stupidly high. the no drivers thing is incredibly nice tough.
