On linux, we had driverless printing and scanning for 6 years now

Reminder that printers are tracking devices.

I remember being in class years ago and reading about after I saw a schizo post about it. I was genuinely surprised it was true. Is there a way to avoid any yellow dots or tracking? It's been years so I don't remember if anything important is even written down
>>
>>100141778
Easy. You take the file you want to print from your OS machine and store it in a USB stick, then you take it on a windows pc that is connected to a printer and you print it there
>>
>>100141778
Why would we need to fix it. MacOS is apples OS
>>
Apple invented cups, printing works well on their platform
>>
>>100142189
>cups
sucks most of the time.
>>
>>100142127
i ended up using a windows VM on my mac for printing
>>
I've had Dell, Brother, Canon, Epson and one other I can't remember the brand of multifunction printers and never had to install any drivers for my MacBook. Checkmate faggit
>>
>>100142292
LAMO! I guess yeah that seems like the 'easy' way to do it. Most /g/uys on here have windows vms ready to use anyways so makes sense
>>
Man I wished Hideo Kojima retweeted my art

>>100141927
so does MacOS as it uses CUPS.

OP probably got some shitty printer that has no driver support in OSX or no generic PPD definitions.
>>
>>100141778
OSX used to have some of the best printer support due to Apple leading CUPS development.
What happened?
>>
>>100142292
You do realize pattern is built-in feature on a printer itself, right? Doesn't matter what you use to print. Based on a pattern on printed paper you can track down exact printer paper was printed.

My black and white laser printer doesn't have this problem.

>>
>>100142051
As far as I know it may be a hardware/firmware feature. If you want to go around it you may need an ancient printer, laser printer maybe or no yellow ink.

>>100141778
It works on my Mac,
also love anime feet

To paperless

It's not always yellow dots.

I have three laser printers and they all work flawlessly. No driver or software issues etc.
I have no idea why laserprinters always just work, but ink won't.
>>
>>100146295
Cause ink is for retards
