She bought it for work reasons.
I was not part of the printer decision.
I own a brother printer.
Reminds me of my Uncle Kieth's house in the 1970s. He had a color TV but the sound didn't work, so he put an old black & white portable TV on top of it for sound. When you wanted to change the channel, you had to get up and change them both.
It’s an old Jeff Foxworthy joke, too.
If you have a working television set on top of a non-working television, you might be a redneck.
Does using the old cabinet crt tv as a tv stand for the flatscreen that replaced it, for 10 years, count?
Yeah, that joke hit hard in my (red)neck of the woods because it was 100% true.
Everything is an old Jeff you might be a redneck joke. There was like 5 years where it seemed like all he did was wake up and write those jokes. I assume the well is endless.
So he had a soundbar before soundbars were cool.
As far as inkjets go, she didn't do terrible. If you need color and don't want something huge, this is a reasonable decision. But stacking it a top of the dead carcass of it's cousin is probably some sort of robot hate crime. You better hope they aren't telling the Seiko/Epson AI about it.
In nature, this is how coral reefs get established.
If there aren't any crustaceans involved I'm not interested.
Too late I already told bender.
I’m pretty sure this is how we get label makers.

Here we see the Epsonis Imprinterae in its natural environment, marking territory that it won from a rival to assert its dominance to any potential competitors that may be lurking nearby
At the rate these things fail, the printer stack will be holding up the roof before the end of next year
I have the same and use it with Linux. I can recommend it after fleeing from Csnon's color cardrige fashism. The epson uses refillable ink, without any electronics. You can buy 3rd party ink by design.It was designed during the chip shortage where it wasn't profitable anymore to make defective-by-design chipped ink cardridges. Lucky us.
Even scanning works over the network.
This reminds me so much of the Jeff Foxworthy joke about the working TV on top of the broken TV.
You should fire her.
Pretty sure I have that exact same Cannon printer.
It's garbage and really needs replacing, but I print like 2 pages a year.
I have a Canon PIXMA (got it for free) and it's fucking garbage, but if you only need to print like 5 things a year it's hard to justify getting a new one. Despite all that we probably already spent $100s in ink.
The most frustrating thing is, every year when you go to print those 5 pages, it's out of ink
I know, it's such a scam. I think those ink cartridges have a timer in addition to just checking the ink level.
I think one of these days the thing will enrage me so much I'll just instant buy a Brother.
Put the Canon on top when she's not looking
They are like WALL-E and EVE
Careful, the tea might fall.
She likes that spot and now it is higher.
I haven't owned a printer in more than a decade.
ET-8500?
I feel personally attacked here because this is something I can envision myself doing once I get another printer to save space

Hi, OP. I can't tell if in the background that is a art canvas or an air filter directly behind the space heater. I have that same Honeywell heater with a 2-blade fan. They are nice, quiet, and work just fine. If using it as an ambient air cleaner, with fan-only (no heat) mode - that will be fine --very restrictive, yes, but still catches some dust i guess. A note on the 2-blade... they perform the worst pulling air thru a filter. A 2-blade is just a cost-effective fan design for small air movement things; like space heaters and tiny desk fans. Anything with more than 2 blades will perform better. That's my nerd thoughts.
tldr; space heater fire hazard possible 😎.
I'm so sorry for your loss
