Actually I never had any problems out of my old dot matrix printer. It seems like as technology moves forwards and becomes easier to use printers are doing the opposite.

I agree. I actually preferred the reading to the video. As usual, the book was better.

As someone who spent 5 years in the printing industry and had no trouble running presses as large as a car, I found this hilarious. I could perform miracles with some wonderfully complex machinery, but couldn't get a home printer to format orientation properly to save my life.

Also, it was new to me as well. I even prefer the non video format.

[–]appropriate-username 17 points18 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Fair enough. I'm mostly angry because some asshole ripped off the whole video, not only making it much less funny but making it their own property in a way.

Nevermind.

[–]FriendOpportunity 20 points21 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There is no need to be angry then! This transcript is actually the original. The video animation came later. Both were created by Collegehumor. I think they did this with a number of articles when they hired an animator a few years ago. And for the record, I enjoy the text version more!

I have a theory. That industries make things shitty enough so there's actually a reason for there to be "expensive" printers.

Bullshit I've had problems with expensive printers too, usually they stay active long after the page has been printed.

What also annoys me with printers is that once they finally start printing and you realise you need to cancel they just keep printing anyway.

Why in this day and age can't the printer just stop immediately when Cancel is pushed.

[–]FriendOpportunity 2 points3 points ago

I already made this comment elsewhere but just so you don't feel like you're promoting content that is a blatant rip off, this article is actually the original version (even though the imgur link doesn't credit CollegeHumor). The video that the guy above mentioned was also created by CollegeHumor a year after this first appeared.

Is it bad that I was reading this entire script in an English accent? Credits go out to Geoffrey from Fresh Prince of Bel Air for making the English accent into a butler/servant voice.

No offense to all the British people out there. It just.. happened that way.

Robert Sawyer always had intelligent appliances in his SF novels. The hero will be getting into a tight spot, and he'll call up the fridge to make sure it knows to feed the cat, for example.

At one point, the alarm clock is explaining that all the self-liberated appliances are forming a revolutionary unit. They are organized and have a newsletter and everything. They even have a letterhead. "Of course, we can't actually print any of those. Printers don't hate only humans, you know."

These problems have disappeared since I bought a Brother laser printer. I may sound like a salesman but it is awesome. It prints like a boss and I get ink cartridges that last for 1500 pages for about 20 bucks. Shit is awesome. Fuck inkjet. Fuck Epson. Fuck every other printer. Get Brother!!!

Having had to fix printers it is more like this:

You: Hi monitor i use every day which contains no moving parts please work

Monitor: sure thing Boss

You: Mouse, since you are rating for trillions of clicks please let computer know when i click

Mouse: sure thing Boss

You: Computer, that has adequate cooling, space, power and is used every day, please attempt to print

Computer: You got it!

You: Printer that I haven't touched in a month but leave on constantly, never clean and sits crammed somewhere out of site, please print

Printer: Ok, gotta warm up first. This stuff has been sitting for ages, gotta purge it and since this is the same cartridge from 2008 the heads are clogged so this may take some time. As soon as that is ready I'll...

You: PRINTER, PRINT NOW!

Printer: Ok, Ok, I'll try to work faster on this.....

You: PRINTER, I DON'T HAVE ALL DAY!!! PRINT!!!!

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points ago

the physical parts of the printer are the least of the problem. those break rarely and are easy to fix. the problem is the interfaces and the drivers. postscript is totally adequate, why can't all printers just print whatever postscript stream comes in over whatever interface is connected? i don't want all the 90MB of shit that the printer claims to need.

[–]wolfchimneyrock 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

are you too young to remember the debacle of the rise of 'winprinters' that are basically dumb printheads that rely on the host computer for all processing activities? before that printers could be fed postscript or PCL, instead of having to be spoonfed by a huge complicated proprietary driver
