Mercury is in retrograde, and so is your duplex binding.
The stars indicate a period of transformation is upon you.
Specifically, your documents are duplexed in landscape when they should be portrait, and the cosmos have aligned to clip your bottom lines. This is not a coincidence. It is A4.
Mid-month brings an unexpected lpoptions revelation.

Ricardo HarvinI was wrong.
My sister understood the assignment, naturally.
She bought me a 14 ounce mug in Costa Rica, and it just may be the perfect size.
With this, I won't have to refill my first mug o' the day to get my fill.
It doesn't seem like much, with the mugs next to each other, but that little bit does make a noticeable difference, for the better.
Now, to avoid breaking it 😮💨

Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UKGot smol SSD drive (250GB) and restarted #LinuxMint experiment (old #desktop was laggy using spinning rust) - this is actually now a usable PC!
Office #printer once again detected by #CUPS with driverless install, built in software handled printing a large graphics-intensive PDF well.
Both #Firefox and #Edge running without problems (only reason I have Edge on here is to test how well it works with if #MS365)
Only minor drawback is #Dropbox #Linux client wants to download entire Dropbox to the hard drive (which will fill it up very quickly), it doesn't have the "save hard drive space" functionality on #Windows
This would now be good enough to use as backup PC for general (non technical) office staff (many use web MS365 apps a lot more than desktop these days!)
shomHey #Ubuntu, nice work on the printer test page. It is informative and usefully colorful without being busy and garish!
