Even though I've never used a printer long enough for this to happen, it's useful to know I can reset it.

I buy disposable printers. I print very little but probably run out of ink every three years or so. When I do I just buy a new cheap laser printer instead of buying ink. I usually can find a cheap laser printer for between $59 and $79.

have any old Polaroid pictures that are all faded out?

the wife found out you can ask Chatgpt to restore them by scanning them and uploading that. She seemed to say there was no special thing to click on or do at all, that the robot was all set to do this. Amazingly good restoration!

I use Gemini for the same thing. You can also colorize black and white photos. There's even some spy capability. You can read or see something with enhancements that you can't see in the unenhanced image.

Go look at Misc thread on other site. Couldn't link it here, or load it.
