Hey everyone,
Bit of an off-topic question, but I was curious how many people here still use printers regularly alongside gaming or PC work.
I mostly game, but I also print things like game guides, controller layouts, invoices, and PC troubleshooting notes. Sometimes prints come out faded, misaligned, or with missing colors—and I only notice it after wasting a few pages.
To avoid that, I usually print a quick test page before anything important. Simple online test pages help confirm whether the issue is related to ink, alignment, or print settings. I personally use https://myprinttest.com to quickly check colors and layout before printing documents.
For general background, this Wikipedia page explains how computer printers work and common printing concepts, which helped me understand some of the basics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_printer
Do you usually print a test page first, or just go straight to the document? Any tips for identifying color vs black ink issues without replacing cartridges immediately?
Thanks!
