It's motherfucking 2016, why can't companies just get this 1970s technology right? Why is it that a printer no matter how good always gives you problems?

ITT 30 year old plus virgin lives with parents who just bought a new printer, give him the only work he's had to do since high school more than a decade ago, still spills his spaghetti every where

There's your problem. I know I'm stuck using one too.
Get canon or brother.
Can't you just install only the drivers with the inf file? I don't have a printer right now but I'm quite sure I did it before.

Canon AIOs often have scanner driver issues in my experience.
