George E. 🇺🇸♥🇺🇦🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️<a href="https://mastodon.social/@mhoye" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@mhoye@mastodon.social</a> I've wondered about that. I bought my Brother Color <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/LaserPrinter" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LaserPrinter</a> at Office Depot and I paid cash for it. Also bought it over 3 years ago. If the Feds wanted to trace the serial number of my printer back to me there's literally no records that would tie me to my printer. All those printer dots do is waste yellow toner. <a href="https://bofh.social/tags/Privacy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Privacy</a>

Denis 🌏Hey, what inexpensive laser printer would folks recommend? I'm done with inkjet.Don't need color. Don't really need the scanner either, usually scanning something with my phone is enough.If I get into more photo scanning (which I might eventually) I'll do a separate scanner, not a multifunction.I'm in the US, I'd prefer not to buy from Amazon (but not a dealbreaker).<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/laserPrinter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#laserPrinter</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/recommendations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#recommendations</a>

I’m working on a bespoke app (react) that generates QR codes for conference attendee name labels. The QR encodes conference programme URL and attendees ID (as a parameter) in a single URL. We print the labels on Avery label sheets using a laser printer. In a test run *most* of the labels scan okay, but some don’t. I’m thinking our URL is to too long, so I’m looking at a URL short link for the conference programme to reduce the size of the overall URL, and some other tweaks. Anyone have experience printing QR labels onto Avery-type label sheets? In particular how many characters can you encode into a given size QR, before the fidelity/error correction on an off-the-shelf laser printer label isn’t good enough?
