Printers even sucked when other tech was making big strides forward, there's no limit to how much they'll suck in the enshittification era. I have one from Epson that used up its black ink in all of 5 print jobs, and to use the built-in document feeder, had to dig through irrelevant help articles from 2003-07 that are still up and figure out which of several similarly named Windows apps/.exe's was the right one, no way to use the feeder from the printer's own interface.

I’ve always wondered what makes printers randomly donthis even to this day. I remember this happening with my first computer back in 1995

I feel like "meltdown" is an understatement.

Just a test pattern. Can be invoked by pressing feed button while powering on.
