I bought a $35 laser printer last night.


Dec 6, 2018, 9:17 AM

Normally $100, but on sale at office depot yesterday. It has wireless printing and worked excellently once I got it configured--last night.

Today? Nothing. No worky.

I figure the 10 pages I printed last night testing cost about $3.50/page.

I figured the refills would cost more than the printer


Dec 6, 2018, 9:31 AM

But the whole thing was only $35. I spent $40 at Wild Wing Sunday drinking, and have absolutely nothing to show for that.

Scanner Copier in our office for the better part of 2 years now. Each time I think I've got it mastered it decides to forget how to obtain an IP address and stop communicating with any computers on our network.

I've factory reset the ####### thing 8 or 9 times now. If I get it working for me, it stops working for everyone else and vice versa.

printer when my work VPN is connected, so the printer drops connection. This makes me wonder about the whole "split tunneling" process, and wonder what I have been tracked doing by work.

Everything. They've been monitoring everything.

dot matrix Panasonic. I used Lotus 123 for everything and I could code changes in font, size and just about anything else I needed.

I wrote the entire Architectural Contract documents up on lotus and could fill out a any of the forms without buying the package from the AIA. I billed City Hall in Greenville over $2.5 mil with that printer.

SUCK IT AIA!
