Scanners are basically (and most of the time literally) printers. And printers are of the devil.
I'm not Gen Z btw, I'm on the tail end of Gen X and an IT professional of twenty years.
The scanner part is the only reason why I haven't smashed that damn printer yet... I hate printers so much, I'd rather almost pay for a print service that just ships the printed documents to me on the next day.
Yeah, I really like my 3D printers even though they can be pretty fiddly as well.
But paper printers man, not even once.
I just had to replace the heat cartridge and thermister on my hot end. The print I had going when they failed was 35/37 hours in.
I still have massive affection for my 3D printer, but the HP inkjet printer my wife bought during the early days of Covid is my mortal enemy.
Ouch, I feel you on this one. Both of the ones, really.
Lol that's like the dark overlord of evil printers. She really hit the jackpot there. 😛
