Went to the print shop I usually chose for our Christmas letter (trying to keep local business up).
They always do a good job at a reasonable price. Our printer is inkjet, so it leaves pages very wet and smudgeable when printing hi-res color stuff. Their laser is just the ticket.
I create the letter, save the file and put it on a little "computer stick thingie" and march in to the shop.
"No problem, here's a sample for you to check."
"Looks good, make me 50 copies."
(40 minutes later)
"You might want to sit down, my computer won't send it to the printer."
(Best Terminator voice)
"I'll be back."
(3 hours later) (give them lots of time, maybe they'll get it done)
Perfect product delivered.
It's nice to know my computer isn't the only one that periodically won't talk to the printer, loses the 'driver' or just sits down and pouts. No matter how expensive your computer system or printer is, there will be a breakdown at the most inconvenient time!
Back to stone tablets....?
