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.

Kde is looking mighty good to try now, ive been kind of bored from gnome recently

Baguette, dutch, english and spanish, i love to speak all 4 equally but french is the equivalent of a having a migraine to write

This one isstill perfectly fine, just has the brain damage of an nvida card

its per fedora version for some reason, and i dont think that such a fallback would even work since fedora removes the previous kernel core and most other garbadge from what ive seen

doing the dishes and browing lemmy

aang aint got shit on me

I just ducktape myself to my chair , that does the trick

those drivers do suck ass, it is really just astonishing how much the hp software just stops working suddenly, im starting to think its intentional. know if there is any way to reverse that first firmware update that locks out all third party ink?

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!

oh totally, they make my terrible passport photos look slightly less terrible

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”

not a lot really, just some tax and insurance documents, and i use it of course once in the blue moon that i visit. its more just a scanner turned with a printer attached to it. hp’s software is just terrible

oh i think they had one of these set up our library, but that is one hell of a price lol. what are the chances of me finding one on ebay you recon?

is it? i thought toner would be better since it holds a hella lot more ink. i might just be biased since the only toner cartridge ive seen in my life is just massive while the only ink cartridges ive seen are from HP… yeah i might be biased.

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.

i cant take the name seriously lol. i always imagine some warhammer 40k shit with like “Brother get the laser. No, not the printer, the weapon, brother”

brother laser!

It feels really silly to say, but they mostly just want to print their tax and insurance documents in color, since it “looks more official” and “the ones in the letters do it too!” . i primarily just want to replace the HP bastard to reuse its guts for a 3d printer. the scanning might be an issue though since thats its primary use. know if brother also has a color one with scanner? In the worst case scenario i could hook up an old a3 scanner we have laying around.

man the new inkjets must really suck ass then. But im not really surprised since HP normalised paying 10 bucks for 10 ml of ink, bastards. can laser printers also do color? if they can id get one in a heartbeat.
