Printers without annoying accents

[jack]

So, apparently you can buy printers that don't have annoying accents. I hadn't realised how refreshing that would be! :)

Printers have accents?

[catyak]

Most printers have acute and grave accents, with the occasional umlaut and cedilla. Obviously some don't.

My old printer was a cheap-ish lexmark inkjet, which had a driver which constantly announced what it was doing: "Printing started", "Insert tray into auto sheet feeder", etc, etc. Apparently many people had a similar one, judging by the solidarity when I complained about it.

I decided to turn the noise off, as the annoyance wasn't worth it. (Some auditory feedback is useful but I didn't want so much false bonhomie it was distracting :))
