Printers are Brats
They really are. You’ve spent ages making your creation or
at least saving up for the purchase that you want, and now it’s time to make it
more real by giving it a physical presence in the world through the method of
putting it on paper. Things start well when you press the power button. Assuming
you’ve put in the right plug, you’ll see an encouraging light of hope and maybe
even hear some whirring to confirm that there’s life within that plastic shell.
Now you’ve got to encourage your computer to find it. Modern users send it
through the wi-fi and pray to the God of zap that it arrives, but I still use
ye ancient method of a cable. I have to focus on putting the right lead into
the right hole for the document to travel down. If I get it right, there’s
usually a bit of whirring as the devices catch up with each other.
