I just finished a hobby android and WPF app and I found I missed something very important - icons for the UI. Because, for the entire time, I've never cared how monstrous these things look without UI. Unfortunately, for being a person feeling at-home with text and shells all the time my rusty brain has lost all its creativity 
I tried a quick Google search to find icons resources for my need, sadly I was of not much help.
Any suggestions on where should I look ? I am looking for icons for a rich-text-editorish component, some printers and device icons etc.
While I was a student, I used to "strut" with my Photoshop and Illustrator skills, last time I opened it, CC freaked me out

I tried this, but Google was unfriendly. Got a lot of results that were not suitable

You can use this[^] - it's XAML friendly.

Be careful not to install the icons to an existing directory though. It nukes any existing files!

Thank you. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Not of much help. I spend a lot of time looking for them because I was missing what needed to be most prominent.

I'm surprised. I've collected a volume of several thousands of icons and their corresponding png's over the years, all through google.

I do have such a collection too. But this project required icons that I just couldn't find out. What I was looking for some professional icon designers/vendors, which people have some experience with.

All the links to the icon library are dead.

My first thought. Pulled out from my linux box. But couldn't find what I was looking for.

IIRC, Microsoft allow you to use any icons that are part of their Windows icon libraries for your Windows applications. This has the advantage of providing common look-and-feel for Windows applications (e.g. every icon for "print" looks the same).
Any other libraries you may find are copyrighted, and the license is probably not free. This may not be a problem if you are the only user of the program, but will become an issue if you publish the program (even as freeware).
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Thats what we commonly use always (I think, not much idea of what UI guys do). I plan to use them in an Android app too.

The CrystalClear Icon set is great and it's license would probably meet your needs. Here is another link that may give you a little more to choose from. Make sure to review the license for each one you like to make sure it meets your needs.

The Fugue Icon Pack[^] should be of use. It requires attribution, which isn't much, considering the quality and number of the icons.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

This is great, but the droids 220+ ppi will make them look tiny

You can check https://icons8.com/. They have a free license where they just require you to link to their website.
