~Mark Twain
…when you try to print something and you accidently choose the printer that is STILL installed on your computer but no longer have access to?
Answer: The computer becomes possessed and you become a stark raving lunatic!
Why?
Because the computer puts the print job in the print queue.
Which ties up 99% of your CPU processor.
Which slows the computer down to a crawl.
And no matter what you do, it holds the frickin’ print job hostage demanding to be connected to unavailable printer.
Tried deleting print job.
Tried cancelling print job.
Tried deleting printer.
Tried cancelling printer.
Tried deleting computer.
Computer tried to delete me.
After banging my head on the desk and a few not-so-ladylike words, I toted hard drive, monitor, keyboard, and mouse back across town to said printer thinking I would appease the technological demon and all would be well.
Not.
The only way to outwit it was to uninstall the printer. Picture an evil smirk here. Picture me Queen and I kick butt.
Not.
I uninstalled the printer and in the process it uninstalled the printer I use at home and now that printer cannot be re-installed for some stoopid reason.
Tried installing it from the disk.
Tried installing it from the manufacture’s website.
Picture evil smirk from computer.
Picture me Queen Printerless.
Do they do exorcisms on computers?
