@dustinb3403 haha, yeah I know, I was just trying to brighten up peoples days with some IT humour.
I ended up downloading the 8 bit version, it only took 6 minutes.

while i've got you here, who now makes good office printers? Print runs of 5-20 pages, duplexing, colour, networked.
HP & Canon used to be the bees knees, Kyocera seem reliable, but I'm not a fan, Lexmark are .. Oki, don't really know.

Define good. Printers are a commodity. Brand doesn't matter much but what class of printer you are buying do. I'd pick the one with the best warranty and lowest cost (including toner).
You also forgot Brother and Xerox in your line-up.

Copier wise, we swapped to Kyocera.
Small office printers I look at HP, and now more recently Kyocera.Don't like Brother, Fuji-Xerox, Ricoh for small office printers. I find that they're either cheap (the bad kind) or just generally craptastic for a work environment.

We have been quite unhappy with our last Brother.

We have a bunch of Xerox models (leased units) out that use drivers for a different model than what the printers tags say. Do not recommend.

I have two HPs; One laser that does duplex and single-sided scan copy, and an ink jet that does duplex copy print.
Both are great devices uncover cover my printing needs, especially since I do more scanning than anything.

We moved to 100% Canons (MF525dw - desktop AIO, C5550 - floor AIO, ICLBP312DN - desktop print only)
They have been great overall - very little downtime in the 2 years we've had them.
Only complaint I have is the ADF (automatic document feeder) on the MF525dw doesn't hold it's position great. Tightening the screws on it seems to make it better for a while.
We looked at Ricoh and Kyocera, and Canon just crushed them on price, more than 10% savings over the life of the contract.
We did a 5 year lease, including maintenance and toner. Management made me push my pre-paid page count be a little lower than our previous 2 years showed we were using to ensure we didn't overpay... so instead we pay a slightly higher fee for that - but that would have happened regardless of vendor. -
I have to deal with a FRS to DFRS update for a 2012 to 2019 server migration, ugh, so much wasted time.

Canon, at least with the local agents, couldn't compete. The TCO over 5 years was significantly better with Kyocera.
Mind you we don't pre-pay prints, it's per-click cost (copies & scans are included too), so our monthly costs are variable BUT we're still saving a lot compared to the old copiers we replaced.
