How the littlest things upset the best laid plans

I hate printers. I lost 2 hours of my day today to trying to persuade my bloody printer to work. It is its sole function in life, it should be such an obvious thing for it to do that it can't get it wrong. And yet, I have never seen a printer in an office anywhere that does not cause inestimable amounts of irritation and cost inordinate amouts of time. I hate printers. I hope there is a hell for printers where they are tortured horribly by having their cartridges ripped out. Grrr.

My father always says, cf, 'A watched pot never boils' :

'A watched printer doesn't'

I feel your pain!

Suffice it to say that things do not improve if you spend more money - I'm working with a £2m printer, which has a distressing habit of breaking down when urgently needed.

All Hardware Sucks. If it seems to be working, its just setting you up for a bigger nightmare later on.
