Needed to print a label. Main printer out of yellow ink so obviously won't print in B&W. Get old laser printer. Root through basket o'cables to find power lead. Get USB adapter. Desk drawer breaks spilling on the dog. Can't find nearby power so try hooking it up to the jackery. Keeps shutting off. Get extension lead. All connected. Label gets cut off. Try again, label gets cut off. Try system print dialog, label all smudged. Do test print on normal paper, OK. Print label, OK.

just spent the last hour trying to get my printer to work. i swear, it's more complicated than launching a goddamn rocket. #linuxproblems #firstworldproblems #fuckprinters
Ok so back on my "printers are evil" thing, the absolute worst thing a printer ever did to me was I had to print out the pages for my final in Japanese, so I went to print it and it was fine, I did my final, LOST IT (not the printer's fault that one's on me), and then when I went to print out the same pdf at the same print shop with the same printer, it failed to print, had to have an employee help me and he was like "yeah it's just bitching about missing characters" so I was like already so done from already waiting an hour for this thing to print so I was like "yeah that's fine you can just bypass it and I'll pencil in the corrections" and when I got home to do that it was missing. One. Fucking. Character. Never been so mad in my life. I eventually found the lost copy and it was clearly using the same font and had the missing character pesent. There was no reason for it to fail. That printer just wanted to see me squirm. Anyways #fuckPrinters
@luciedigitalni you were doing them a favour frankly #FuckPrinters
Freshly cleaned printer head. Brand new Epson brand ink. This is still how my @epsonamerica prints a simple black and white form. #fuckepson #fuckprinters #fuckcapitalisticdevaluation
