Already running on ECS, so sounds like k8s will be a breeze!

Ask HN: What printer do you use? 10 years ago
I don't print that often, and very, very rarely do I need to print in colour if so, so I have the Samsung ML-1660. A few years old, but the line of products I would definitely recommend. There are colour versions too.
