I mean yeah, printers really try to behave like somewhat sophisticated typewriters in a way. There are so many things that I suppose used to make sense early on but that really should have been refactored again and again over time. But since the technology is so insanely widespread and backward compatibility being a must-have... tech debt is a bitch.
And that's why IT people hate printers.
Ouch, I feel you on this one. Both of the ones, really.
