How is it that my printer KNOWS when I’m in a hurry, and just need to print out this ONE paper so I can run off and do my errands? Why? Why? Why does it then pick that moment to jam, leaving me to have to take the back out and rip out that paper and then HOPE I can get the back on right so that it will print? It’s like Santa Clause, only in a mean and nasty way. It knows when I need printing. It sees when I’m in a rush. It knows that it can drive me to the point of tearing my hair out and then I’ll bet it’s over there on the desk laughing. (It’s not facing the monitor so I’m pretty sure it can’t see what I’m writing about it right now, but just in case, don’t read this out loud, ok?)
What? Use the other printer? The new printer I bought because I can’t stand the 10 year old printer on my desk? Well, I would use the new printer, if it weren’t out of black ink already. Again. And when I DO remember the model number to look for ink when I happen to be at office depot (which is pretty close to never), they seem to always be out of that ink. (Ok, twice. But still–twice!) And since I had just bought a large two pack of black ink from Costco for the old printer, I’m not giving it up until I USE ALL THAT INK. You know what I’m sayin? Grumble grumble, snap, snap, snap.
Well, I feel better now. I think I just needed to get that off my chest.
Oh…I know exactly what you mean! This happens so often! Well I guess more often, when my girls were still home,and had to have a project ready for the next day and of course they waited till the day before to print it, and it´s like 12 at night and then we run out of ink….!!
I so get where you´re coming from!
I REALLY empathize with your printer frustration. So much, that I don’t wanna talk about it.
The printer works under the same premise as my son. Whenever we’re in a hurry to leave the house, he has to choose that one moment of eternity to poop his diaper.
