What do you call the white line on the outer edge of the road when there is no kerb? (leftpond: curb)
I know what I (and my firefighting colleagues) call it, but I'm interested in the wider world's usage.

That's what we call it, but I'm pretty sure I didn't know the term until about 20 years ago.
And I'd been a licensed driver for 40 odd years by then.

In my state its generally considered a no-passing line. Snow line would not make sense in many US states.

Huh? and huh?
I was referring to the line along the EDGE of the road, not a centre line.
I never mentioned snow.

In the UK, it's the "Edge line": THE HIGHWAY CODE ... Signs and Signals ... Road markings[^] but there are other names (and functions) if it is non-white.

That's probably what I would have called it in the distant past.
And yes, I've met the yellow and red flavours in the UK and Singapore.
Here, we don't have those lines, but they do paint the kerb red for "no stopping".

I wasn't aware of, or had forgootten, that. And since few roads have that line ... at least round the Surrey hills.

We call it "shoulder" as the edge of the road...

Yes, the term "road shoulder" is pretty universal, I think.
I was specifically asking about the white line marking the edge of the roadway.

"edge line" seems logical - in the spirit of KISS.
And risking being called rude (again) - it took very little time for somebody ( not mentioning any names to identify / embarrass the guilty ) to get off the tangent / subject and talk about CENTER line when the OP was clear about the location of the line.
In my opinion - some people just do not read well...
and it has very little to do with Queens English skills.
Most frustrating part, to me, how can one expect good technical
response / discussion when simple not technical question gets botched down?
(And when I point that out , I am rude....so I will NOT SAY THAT......)

I hate everything mechanical that you connect to a computer.
Especially something that has as many mechanical parts as a printer.
I only have 2 sentences written and already I'm feeling a long rant coming up. I could go in so many directions.
But I'll try to keep it short.
I've wasted enough time and money on this printer that randomly chooses to display this error that just tells you to send the printer back to the manufacturer. Looking up the error suggests that, despite this, the error "might" go away on its own just by replacing the ink cartridges.
Obviously, it's an ink-jet printer. I despise them. The ink always dries up long before I'm ready to print. Last time I printed anything (just a few pages), the cartridges were brand new. This weekend, the cartridges, a transparent plastic container, all show more than 80% of the ink is gone. I replaced them with my last spares, still in a shrink-wrap. The printer still shows the same error.
This is not the first time this happens. I've had enough. The replacement (printer, that is, not cartridges) is coming from Amazon this week. Once that one is set up and prints, I'm going full Office Space on this one.

Throw it in the ![Elephant | [mastadon]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/elephant.gif) ing recycle bin, and get a laser.
It sits there in low power standby all the time. I print, it grabs paper and prints, then goes back to low-power standby. No ink to evaporate, no Epson date-chip expiry, no spending half an hour trying to get enough print lines working to get a recognisable image ...
This is my second laser, and I got it second hand, three years old, still on it's original cartridges (which were low) from eBay for £50. It prints double sided at 16 ppm, single sided at 36ppm (Black and white) or colour at 32 ppm and holds over a ream of paper. A set of aftermarket cartridges cost me £40 six months ago and I still haven't even opened them yet ... 
Only drawback is size: it's pretty big compared to an inkjet.

I was going to say much the same. I have a laser that's at least 10 years old, and "just works". I'm sure I've seen LaserJet III printers much older than that, just working, as long as you can get toner. Back in the day, HP knew how to build stuff that lasted, and didn't annoy the customers.

They certainly did: not long ago I had to part ways with my LaserJet 6MP after almost 30 years of faithful service.
Along the way I started to use Canon MF printers (last one is also colour) and they aren't too bad either. However the previous Canon I had to let go because there were no scanner drivers for anything newer then Windows XP  .
