[09:31] mornin', wow another new laptop and an amazon package showed up [09:49] need a better cloaking device for your home or it'll keep happening :-P [09:50] heh [10:07] * zxmpi fires up brother laser printer for first time in 2-3 years to print a bank statement. errors. shuffle paper sitting for years in tray. errors. do it again. prints \o/ [10:08] print is very faint. original half toner shipped with printer running out? print from word processor and it's fine. just crappy web page statement meant for an inkjet. raise from 300dpi to 600 and it seems fine. [10:09] first time i've ever seen a web page muckup a printout like that [10:37] i'd seen better quality printouts on a 9pin dot matrix printer in 80s [10:40] xD [10:41] with the added fun of tearing off the tractor feed strips after! [10:42] and hoping the head was close but not too close :-) [10:43] that job i had last week of going to check out this lady's inkjet, heh couldn't be simpler, couldn't believe it when she said she tried to ask for help at the place she bought the machine and got told no [10:43] it was a Canon MG3530 or thereabouts, flipped it over the paper could easily be seen wrapping around the back - a whole stack of sheets had been pulled in at once [10:43] yeah they sold you a50 quid printer, they don't ever want to see you aagain unless you're buying ink every week [10:44] :D [10:44] i just uncurled the end that had come from the tray, pulled out the middle sheets, then the top and bottom - simples [10:44] took a bit of persuasion to get it to pull in a sheet again for a test print, mind... but the second print was ok [10:45] the pfy hasn't first clue how to fix and if they did they won't be working there for long [10:47] still amazes me that paper handling in printers can be so tempermental [10:48] i suppose all it needs is a grumpy user being rough to knock something out of alignment [10:49] and that with all the industry disrupting going on no one has disrupted printers
