Like it or not, your printer is essential equipment for your small business. Though the world is evolving ever further along the road to digitization, physical documents and promo materials still very much have a place in small business daily operations. They likely always will.
For many of us, that's not exactly a comforting thought. Printers are, after all, not seen as particularly reliable or cutting-edge. From expensive ink that runs out at the worst possible time to spotty wireless connectivity to an outright refusal to print, trying to make them work reliably often feels like pulling teeth.
We're going to go over a few of the biggest issues with printers - and more importantly, we'll offer you a solution to all of them.
1. Constant disconnects
On paper, wireless printing sounds like a marvelous idea. Unfortunately, printers frequently decide they aren't keen on your Internet connection at the worst moment possible. Cue twenty minutes of restarting and troubleshooting to finally get it working again.
2. A configuration nightmare
Instead of including easily-configurable plug and play hardware, printer setup has a ton of unnecessary steps. Hunting for drivers is incredibly frustrating.
3. Paper jam!
From paper jams to creased prints, there's a whole range of things that can go wrong with your printer hardware. Some particularly fussy models are prone to jamming up if even one page in the tray is out of alignment.
4. A usability nightmare
Connectivity isn't your only issue with printers. Even though it's 2020, most units seem to be just as cryptic as in the 80s - they haven't kept up with modern technology. An app-based option for support and configuration should be the standard, yet it's not.
5. Never enough ink
Printers have a tendency to run out of ink at the worst possible time. To make matters worse, ink usually costs an arm and a leg to buy.
