and because i’m a lazy ass i didn’t read the specs but just read the search engine result.

I also assumed that because 6 years ago i bought a $50 hp envy and it had wifi, this much expensive one is also going to have it

Result: that $250 printer doesn’t actually have wifi

    the user manual is shared with other 10 models and has sections like “how to share the scanner in the network”

    I was so ready to call you dumb, but this is the most annoying bullshit. Makes the manual virtually useless when it has specs for shit that you didn’t buy. Needs to be illegal

      This is also why you get search results that seem like this model has wifi.

        Not that OP would know since they didn’t actually go into the results for the search.

        Maybe after reading 30 pages of the manual it might make things clear. But IDK about you, but I don’t want to read through the owners manual for 10 different printers before buying one.

          Well hopefully someone will come up with an AI soon to help you by summarizing the manual!
