What would happen if I put sandpaper in my printer?

This is a late night intrusive thought I had. I feel like it would depend on the printer and type of printer but I'm wondering how messed up it would get.

You'll get different results depending on the printer type, though. For example, that kitchen paper would work in a inkjet printer (as in, would get pulled through, but you couldn't read the result), and work perfectly in a dot matrix printer. I know the latter as I used to print, err, learning aids on paper handkerchiefs with my dot matrix printer in the 90s. A few times teachers were suspecting something, in which case I'd just use it to clean my nose, and toss it. Nobody ever was curious enough to continue their investigation afterwards.

Beautiful. Exactly what I was looking for and more. Thank you

This vid brought me way more joy than I would’ve ever thought.

Lmao I can't believe I just watched 11 minutes of some super calm dude running weird shit through his printer. That was way more entertaining than it had any right to be.

Wow! Wasn't expecting to see this guy here. And with a 7 year old video. He usually does audio stuff.
