A story about my very bad tech day...

I have a Rollo thermal printer for labels.

Today when I went to print ~30 labels the printer printing ONE label (the first) and then spit out the other pages blank.

Every time I put a new label in after that, it would print the first label again.

I restarted the printer and the computer.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer drivers.

I try a different USB port.

I tried to recalibrate the printer. It didn’t recalibrate properly.

Turning off the printer, clearing the print queue, and turning it back on again stopped it from printing the same label over and over again. BUT when I go to print more labels it prints the first one and then proceeds to spit the rest out blank. The process repeats.

I call Rollo. They walk me through support. They can see it’s not calibrating right. They check ALL my settings and do a ton of tests. They install A DIFFERENT DRIVER. They say they are stumped and will escalate the ticket.

My friend down the street has a DIFFERENT printer. She says, “Borrow mine! So you can keep working!” I drive over and get the printer, the USB, and power brick. I’m feeling very good about myself. I think my day will improve.

I install her printer’s driver. I set it all up. I confidently print my 40 labels.

It does the same thing.

I move everything to ANOTHER LAPTOP. I log into my account and try to print the labels on my friend’s printer. IT DOES THE SAME THING.

I open a text doc and keyboard smash for a few pages then try to print that.

IT DOES THE SAME THING.

It prints page one and then spits out blanks. If I put another label in without restarting the printer it prints Page 1 again then spits out blanks. If I turn everything off and back on again I can print ONE (1) label at a time but it will always and only print that label until I turn it all off again.

This happens the same way on two different computers, with two different BRANDS of printers, using two different USB cords and bricks, USING TWO DIFFERENT PROGRAMS TO PRINT FROM. The only common denominator left is Windows so when my husband is done work I'm going to try this on his Linux machine.

Honestly I am just impressed at this point that I've wasted a WHOLE day on a seemingly impossible to solve problem.

Alright I had some beef with printers already. These machines are the true evil. But today I discover that scanners are quite cursed as well.

Me: my silly little nsfw sketches made with love ty

Superman would not snap and go kill-mode because of a loved one dying, or seeing himself as above us, or any of the other reasons comic-makers always say.

Superman would snap and go kill-mode because living your life with super-hearing on planet Earth would drive anybody right over the edge.

#superman #I sit directly in front of my office's printer and by the end of an 8-hour day I'm ready to carve faces off #Imagine hearing every grating and unpredictable noise in the world with perfect clarity all the time forever #It's a miracle he made it out of childhood sane #Evil Superman's signature phrase should not be anything in the vein of 'Kneel before me' or 'Face true justice' #It should simply be 'SHUT UP'

I'm 30, have a stem phd and write codes for work every day. Today I've achieved impossible - I set a printer while fixing all the bugs on the way, all by myself. Very proud, had to share.

#honestly the proudest moment in a long long time #still can't set up my mom's printer #this is a piece of true evil machinery

thinking about how class is never addressed with Penelope, especially with Madam Delacroix. how Theo gave Eloise a well deserved dressing down about how her privileges as a well off white woman with a powerful family shield her from consequences that he would likely lose his livelihood or life over, in particular when she went to check on him after the Queen threatened her.

thinking about how Penelope came to Madam Delacroix with a proposal she literally couldn't turn down. how she'd already written of her favorably in one breath and besmirched the modiste across the street in another. how she showed Gen that she had the means and fortitude to ruin women like her with just one sentence. how “I have proved to you how I can help you in your business, now I’d like you to help me with mine.”

what was she meant to say, No? Gen told her she'd keep her secret. Gen told her she'd never tell. and Penelope came to her anyway afterward, about how she's been sloppy as LW, about how she'd been spotted once so she'd be spotted again. about how this was a business venture and they would both benefit. that they could be partners.

about how, then, Gen finds out that the Queen of England is involved and chasing after them. how Penelope came to Gen's HOUSE, uninvited, in the midst of the Queen's cat and mouse. how terrified she was. that Penelope dismissed her concerns as 'you were aware there were risks when you signed on to this' and how Gen replied 'yes, risks, but not The Queen of England' because she knows that Penelope would be given more grace than she would be. because she knows women like Penelope would *always* be given more grace than she would be. that they always have been.

i wish Genevieve Delacroix had given her a reality check. i wish she pointed out that Penelope masquerades as a working class woman, putting on a fake accent and maid's clothes, cosplays her way into Gen's world, this privileged white woman from a scandal ridden family she besmirches herself, who makes her own money and does not have to worry about overhead or paying for a storefront or a home for herself, who gets to keep all her wages, who gets to leave it, all the while assuming they are equals with equal struggles. that she wears Gen's working class life like a costume and peels it off as soon as she's home

when will we finally acknowledge that, yes, Penelope works, but she is not a working woman? that, yes, Penelope's family has fallen on hard times, but they are very much a 'distinguished family' who live in a huge house in the middle of a rich neighborhood, titled, that Penelope is a lady with a lady's protections and privileges. that Penelope is invited to all the fancy parties Gen would never be considered for. that Penelope wears the expensive, sparkling dresses Gen makes for her, mends for her, that she herself would never have a reason to wear

that Penelope pretends her way into a working world, is more than happy to do so for a day, a night, an excursion: and then disregards so many people who try to survive in it. and is never once asked to recognize that in herself

#penelope featherington #madame delacroix #Genevieve Delacroix #bridgerton #eloise bridgerton #theo sharpe #i just think about it a lot #especially as someone who grew up hyperaware of class #the way rich people are so completely in the dark about the complexities of poverty but assume they know about it #how penelope appropriates so much from working people and then doesn't even look at them favorably #she was willing to get Theo and the Printer fired #(not to mention calling him lazy like damn Pen YOU run a publishing house it's NOT EASY) #that she ran a modiste out of business #didn't even care about her name: just saw her as collateral damage in the pursuit of getting what she wants #i don't think penelope is evil #but i DO think she gets passes for her bad behavior #and it's just. . .kind of stale #the way penelope treats woc in particular throughout the course of her story is NOT IT

HP is one of BDS's boycott targets. You should switch to a different printer as soon as possible

Luckily I don't use any of the HP account bullshit and the last time I bought ink for it (and am currently using) is a recycled cartridge with another brand of ink I think? So thankfully I haven't put any money into HP (I think the printer is like, 4+ years old too, which my family bought). But thank you for this info

I definitely do plan on buying a Brother printer or something as soon as I have enough money to replace it, especially since the print quality on this fucking thing SUCKS (though I would've replaced it anyways even if it didn't)

#this company is fucking EVIL i HATE hp #god i want a new printer so bad. why are they expensive. why are they so hard to maintain #also buy recycled ink. saves less waste #ask #anon #etc

the pain of not wanting to spoil things but not having the energy to write or draw out the entire story right this minute 😔

#grrrr why can’t I just hook a printer up to my brain and automatically spawn the entire thing in comic form into existence!!!!! #evil world 👺 #sanchoyorambles #I won’t to talk abt my oh cees…..

Wacky Workbench Good Future (JP)'s theme is the concept of adorableness distilled in audio form. I listen to it and I'm just like

#I love how they used real-world machines in the song compositions like telephones and dot matrix printers #in addition to being quintessentially 90s it gives the impression that technology can be as wondrous as nature #and is not inherently evil #technology when used responsibly can be a great boon to our world #it's a much more nuanced message than the strict environmentalism of western media at the time #sonic cd

[violetbeetle]

So I tend to play pretty harmless pranks on my roommate that I know they'll enjoy. Taping a Miku to the ceiling, Guts Man's ass on the door, you know harmless stuff all in pretty obvious places. So imagine my surprise when I feel something weird under my desk and I see THIS

I am always being subjected to spamton ass and apparently this had been there for THREE MONTHS

#bestie how fucking dare #using my printer for evil and to torment me #i printed out so many anime girls for you and this is how I'm repaid
