Common Missteps

printers are the fax machines of the 21st century

Common Missteps

@Mad Marie: First you need to bring the NPC 12 bearskins, and then take a letter to their aunt... this is why the printer is always out of paper.

Clifton Royston

The previous paper was used to clean up the slippery slope.

Daniel Rydberg

Makes me feel better that I never really got mine set up. Wireless printer, but couldn't get it to connect. It was on sale for like 20 bucks anyways.

The review site Wirecutter did an article on which printer you should buy for home use, and after much research their conclusion was: none at all, if you can possibly avoid it. Most of their reviews are all about which product is the best, but the printer review was mostly about which one was slightly less unpleasant than the others.

The printer coroner's report: One sheet fewer and the floor would have held.

Terrible Mistake Innovator

Mad Marie

Standardization? It sounds like they are indeed consistent in one highly significant way.

Mad Marie

The moment they manage to procure coffee, they will also discover that they are out of paper again

Nicolas Demers

Out of coffee? AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Chrissy Hart

As a business manager... this is an impossibility.

Sean Morgan

Moray's signature is "TMI" for short.

Daniel Drazen

As someone who used to work in IT... All printers are designed in hell, and can fuck right off. Long-term they are awful devices that need some serious rework and would probably benefit from better technical standardization across manufacturers.

@OldGoat: provided that one has printed prior to the power outage…

Mad Marie

To be fair, the easiest reminder you need to refill printer paper is running out of printer paper.

Harmony Petersen

Cheaper to hand out and harder to elicity edit too.

Matthew Foweraker

Hard copies do tend to work better than computers during prolonged power outages.

OldGoat

"printers are the fax machines of the 21st century"--now just hold on a dang minute here, Hoss. Even as someone who was into the idea of tablets _before_ Star Trek TNG, print still has its advantages. I'll cut off my rant here, but I could go on at length on this subject, oh yes.

Thomas A. Dennis

Oh dear. It sure is a slippery slope. Maybe due to leakage by Moray?

Daniel Rydberg

The moment they manage to procure toner, they will also discover that they are out of coffee.

Mad Marie

Under Claire there will be truly paperless operations

Todd Ellner

Like I wrote a few strips back, it should be "AI LOAD LETTER" in Cubetown... :P

Leak

better than NPC load letter…more difficult to get them to do it.

Mad Marie

"PC LOAD LETTER? WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN?" - this Moray, probably.

Dallas Hicks

AI Printers - "I make printing *fun*"

Jan Gampe

Can't remember to refill the printer? Guess he just talked himself out of one job in Claire's new regime.

Michael Bruner

But it was fully loaded with paper as it sank

Bagge

Ah yes, printers - the bastard children of fax machines and calculators...

Leak

Claire's Printer Maintenance And Resource Allocation Program (PriMARAP) will be studied by logisticians all over the world for it's efficiency and zero failure rate. Also the printer will fall through a hole in the floor and sink into the sea.

Justin

Under Claire, the printer will NEVER be out of paper

Bagge

The moment they manage to procure paper they will also discover that they are out of toner.

Daniel Rydberg

By golly if trees didn’t give their lives to contain 1k of plaintext per page (1 meg of info if it’s a big picture) then I’m not interested.

Shane Wegner

Maximum Claire-face when imagining how she's going to attempt to impose "order" upon the raw chaos of the cubish.
