From this to this overnight. The moment I actually need to print something important, the black dies. Frick's sake.

Near collision because an ATC controller was on the phone, AND the supervisor was mucking around with a printer.

"A private jet came within 100 feet of colliding with a Southwest Airlines plane on a San Diego runway in August 2023 after air traffic controllers in the tower became distracted, according to a final report issued Tuesday Sep. 30 by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)."

"...The supervisor, meanwhile, was distracted by a malfunctioning printer used by controllers to receive information. Instead of switching to a backup printer, the supervisor attempted to troubleshoot the issue during active landing operations..."
