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

    I also took 30 minutes of reading the manual before realizing that, yes it doesn’t appear in the wifi network list because it doesn’t actually have wifi connectivity…

      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.
