Same here

Everything got better after the application of some warmth.

Good morning, and it is the sun, is making the morning frost sparkle brightly.

Have you tried giving the printer a fixed IP address, rather than using DHCP

Thanks but not sure how I do that lol

Time for a frosty run

Excellent! It's sometimes very risky in a hard frost.

Google probably knows someone who can explain it.

Why do we put up with this shit? Stuff should just work. If cars were as tempramental as printers, there would be riots.

I can already see the news, the great printer riots of 2025....

There aren't many things in life that 'just work' unfortunately!

Most things do. I turn on the lights, they work. My Iphone does everything it's supposed to without drama. My car starts first time every time even on the coldest days. I put the heating on, my house gets warm. I try to print out a document at work and unless the stars are properly aligned, the gates of hell open.

you're absolutely right, I was a little quick to be dissmissive......sadly a common trait online!

Proud to say I've never in my whole life stayed awake all the way through a powerpoint presentation.

Yes with all today's modern technology you'd think they'd design an easy to setup printers. I should be able to print off my phone but even before the new Internet hub it constantly told me 'printer not available ' or took 2 days to print a basic document. Okay so might be slight exaggeration but you get the gist lol

They're working on it. The number of people getting locked out of their own cars is growing exponentially.

The saving grace for my printer is it doesn't give a fuck if one of the inks is empty, so as I use it pretty rarely stuff will get printed in blue when the black runs out, then red etc.

I finally went and brought new ink when I decided I couldn't send a letter about my dad's probate off in in light pink......
