Man. What the fuck is going on with printers here

@NaiJi in my experience using computers at work, it's faster to download and install libre office in order to print than go through whatever bullshit activation of office Microsoft wants

@skells that's the shit... an attempt to print any document caused the application to crash. Idk whether it's the distro fault or libreoffice or whatver... I rarely use printers at all and it was the first time I tried to do that here at work :cirno_cry: I just found out I could just use our corporate OneDrive in the browser, will remember.
