gollark: Just get a better plug extender thingy or plug the Pi into a USB-A port if it has one.
gollark: So to get to the point, no plug sockets?
gollark: I see.
gollark: It's not better built in. Printer functionality is notoriously unreliable and an external RPi thing will generally work much more sanely.
gollark: Much less horrible, generally, to just hook up an RPi to it for print handling.
